It was an absolutely gorgeous day today, perfect weather. And as luck would have it I was heading off to Shikoku, great!

The bus ride was quite nice, I got a lot of work done, then to settle into the hotel that will be home for the next 5 days.

In the evening I had a meeting about the events I’ll be doing this week and the state of affairs in Tokushima. Unlike other prefectures of late, apparently here they’ve had real problems getting my schedule sorted because none of the schools, nor people in charge, will officially admit they do any English education at all! The view was that none is done in the whole prefecture. But hang on, this isn’t the Tokushima I know! The Tokushima I know has some of the best ALTs in the country who are doing lots of pretty cool things. This just looks like everywhere else was five years ago, where all the stuff the ALTs do is gone unnoticed. So let’s see what we can do about that! But they did manage to sort me out one workshop which should be good ( it only takes one for the word to spread) and also a meeting with the teaching university here to have a chat about the stuff I do. So ALTs let’s help put Tokushima on the map!
