Seeing as it was my second time in Nara this week I got quite a bit of press attention. Here’s the TV clip, which didn’t really say much, but let’s you get a feeling for the smaller 30 person practical workshops where teachers get to present themselves.

And here’s the Nara Shinbun newspaper article which is much better ( the reporter stayed for quite a while). It’s great to help persuade your school if you are thinking of planning a workshop. It also includes the very important 3rd rule of Genki English, which the TV company obviously didn’t understand a word of! How many times did they say “igirisu jin”?
