I had a very enjoyable Golden Week for more than one reason. On April 26th my wife gave birth to a beautiful, healthy baby girl. As my wife is from Tokushima, we spent the holidays staying with her parents, as is sometimes done here in Japan after a child is born. I was in charge of [...]

Last weekend my family visited my parents- in-law who live in a rural area of Tokushima, on the island of Shikoku. It took me about three hours to drive there from my home in Nakamozu (なかもず), Sakai City, Osaka. It’s always an enjoyable drive along the Hanshin Expressway past Kobe and over the Akashi Kaikyo [...]

Teaching English in Japan, living in Japan and being married to a Japanese woman has given me the opportunity to learn quite a bit about Japanese culture. One of the things that I’ve learned is that December is a busy month for Japanese people, including my students at my English conversation (英会話) school, Smith’s School of [...]

I find canned drinks in Japan amazing. There are so many kinds and so many vending machines! The cans are often very nice-looking. They sometimes look so good that I feel it’s a waste to use them only once! I believe that they are recycled though, which is a good thing. Many cans like those used for canned [...]
Last week, John of the Kawanishi School and I went to Ashiya to find a coffee shop and found a nice Italian style shop with outside seating. With the nice weather these days and nice artistic cafe late (this one had the patter of a leaf in the froth), we could really enjoy a nice [...]
