On Saturday night (Sept. 4) we`ll hold a Farewell/Welcome party for Ichinomiya teachers Nikko and Parren. It will be at Teragoya Ichinomiya school from 7 - 9pm. The price is 2000yen, which includes food & soft drinks. Please bring your own alcohol if you want to drink (and you`re not driving!).

If you`re free, please come. You can enjoy good food, good company, and good English speaking practice. ALSO, Friday night student Kiyotaka will be playing some live music! It looks like being a fun night.

Hope to see you there!

Teragoya BBQ

On Sunday, we had our big annual (once a year) Teragoya BBQ. About 80 students came, and I think everyone had a good time. Fortunately the weather was great - unfortunately last Sunday we had to cancel because of rain.

It was a good chance for me to meet students from Ginan & Gifu schools who I have talked to before, but don`t often have a chance to meet (some of them saw me and tried to hide, but I found them). One student from Ginan let me try her Korean alcohol. Yuck! It was disgusting. Fortunately there was beer at the BBQ too. I like beer, but I didn`t drink so much on Sunday, because I get drunk quickly if I drink during the day.

The food was delicious - wieners, meat, onions, corn, and... breadrolls. Western people usually have breadrolls at barbeques, but Japanese people don`t.

What did you do on Sunday? Did you come to the Teragoya BBQ? Why are Japanese people afraid of breadrolls?
