Now I know where all the money went last year, on Shinkansen fares!! It doesn’t half cost a fortune to move around Japan. But I made it up to Soryo Town in the wilds of Hiroshima safely and met up with the ALT and her Kouchou Sensei. The Kouchou sensei took us to her house for dinner, which was nice. But she had no idea who I was! If she didn’t know about Genki English then that’s fine, but she just thought that I was an ALT who had volunteered to go up to her town for the day. I don’t know which is crazier, the fact that she thought an ALT would do that, or the fact that she gave her permission! Anyway, we had a chat about lots of things and she quickly decided that a teaching seminar would be good after all! So an early night in a room with a Samurai suit of armour! Wow, you can’t get more Japanese than that.
