This new Maruzen store has to be one of the prime real estate locations in the entire World, it is literally right in front of the main entrance to Tokyo station! My presentation was at 11:20 and in the beginning there weren’t that many people present, and I was a bit worried that the typhoon may have messed things up a little. But when the time came the room filled up to capacity ( and beyond) and I had a great time! It’s actually my first time presenting in Tokyo this year, and it was so cool to do all new stuff. And the teachers were really into it, cool! I started off with What’s your name?, then the Teaching Guide Video ( Tokyo Maruzen are actually doing a good deal on this CDROM at the moment!), then some Genki Phonics ( the CD quizzes proved popular!), mingle, the Genki card game and finished with the Halloween song! And they lapped it up, it was great and I really enjoyed it as well! Everything seemed to go like clockwork and they loved the Halloween song. Adding a kind of monster dance to the chorus ( just put your arms in front of you like Frankenstein) made a huge difference and it was just so great to see everyone doing it together. A definite recommendation for any Halloween parties!
