- Never Stop Dreaming -
Alrite so yesterday I was dressed in a full suit with black tie and leather shoes, and along with Grant and another American teacher, Eric, we went to see the mayor of Saku city. There were TV crews there and we were told that there will be a broadcast of a short introduction of ourselves over the city. My GOD, what have I just landed myself into was a question that`s constantly spinning in my head. I mean I am no celebrity and with this kind of publicity, it`s scary and it`s always been my style to stay away from the media`s limelight. I do not mind being the center of attention among my friends or their friends but MEDIA???? That`s not very healthy...haha
But...the G2000 "Power" suit that I wore, kinda kept me flying and giving me the confidence I badly needed to deal with the TV crew. The Mayor was a pretty nice chap...heard he`s been running the office for 18 years, growing a small place to a vibrant city now. And with my much limited Japanese, I could understand his words. He felt regretful that he did not put much attention to English when he was younger and now that this paps is like 60+ he understood the importance of English and that`s why he wanted to get more English teachers and make sure the younger generation pay more attention to it.
After that, met up with some members of the Education system and a retired Principal, advisor and now mentor of some English education system. He`s funny but with his rather awkward English, we had a hell of a time.
Went for lunch at a 200 year old soba restaurant nearby my place in Komoro-Shi and had cold tempura soba (will get the pics up soon). It`s REALLY REALLY GOOD and really living it up to it`s 200 years history.
In the late afternoon when the sun is not too hot, went with Grant to check out this snowboarding shop nearby. Too bad the winter gear were not in yet as it`s still summer now. Will probably go get a Burton winter gear soon...and proably get set to try out SNOWBOARDING!
Yep that`s it for yesterday updates...adios peeps!
