One minute you’re waking up in the Keio Plaza, one of the poshest hotels in the country, and the next you’re waking up in a capsule in Nagoya! Well it must have been comfortable as I didn’t wake up till 10 AM. The only bad point is that you can’t charge your computer while you sleep, so I only had a couple of hours power left.

So after a few emails ( maybe a gig in Okinawa!!!), I met up with Chris from Altia Central for lunch. It’s always good to speak to Chris, as just like Joel last week, he’s in to this for the right reasons; giving the kids the best education. Recently I’ve been asked more and more by Boards of Education where to find good ALTs ( as opposed to any old ALT), and so hopefully it’ll be cool to start introducing Altia to them. Certainly over the last few years they’ve had some fantastic people apply through Genki English.

Then in the afternoon I popped in to see Maruzen about tomorrow. It seems like we might have the same thing as last week as it’s in a different room on the 6th floor, but let’s see what happens. Nagoya also has a nice music store, so I popped in there to check out some of the new keyboards.

Now I’m off out to Starbucks to try and find a power point and try and answer some more emails!
