After the Summer rush of workshops ( as teachers have no classes and can take the time to train) September is usually a quiet time for me. Last year I even managed a few days off! No such luck this year as after just a couple of days to sort out newsletters ( great new Nemo game!), expenses, updates and other such stuff it was another two flights to Hachijyo Shima in Tokyo. It’s my second time on the island ( the first was only in March), so it will be great to see how the kids and more importantly the teachers, have been getting on.

Today was cool and I’m now updating my blog in a very nice resort hotel over looking the ocean, with a very nice evening meal ( this is just the entree!)
