スミス英会話鶴橋校:The Colours of Canada

I love teaching the students at my English school, Smith’s School of English, Tsuruhashi about my country and its culture.  The Vancouver Olympics  have given me a great opportunity to share all the wonderful things that are currently happening in my hometown, and my students can relate because they see a lot of the images [...]

Driving in Japan Chapter 12 : 4×4 Country in Kansai

Hello everyone!    A fair number of us come from countries with a lot of space and nature, countries like Canada and Australia for example, and those of us fond of getting lost in the outdoors might not normally consider Japan as synonymous with serious off-road 4×4-ing.   The surprise is that it really is possible to really [...]
