Off on the Shinkansen to Okayama this morning, and it was the nice Hikari with the posh seats and PC power supplies – excellent!

I got picked up at the station by two teachers from today’s school and then out for lunch to a very posh Japanese restaurant with a ton of food. Then a three hour workshop. That was good and although the room was very hot ( the air con seemed to make no difference) the teachers were well into it. Then afterwards I had a chat with the teachers, they’ve put an application in to buy the Superpack but it won’t get approved till next year! They were also impressed with the card game.

Then an hours sleep and out for dinner with some of the teachers from the Okayama English teachers group, a group of elementary school teachers who are well into doing English in their schools. After several weeks of “from the beginning” workshops it was good to chat about some more high level stuff. One of the teachers has a big Ministry demo lesson in November and plans to use GE which is cool! They also liked the card game and want more DVDs – interesting!

So a good day and a great night!
