January 8, 2004 – The All-Canadian Dream
Posted by Barniferous in Life in Japan, Teaching English on January 8, 2014
I had the best day at work! In my voice class I talked about hockey for the whole class. That`s right, I got PAID to talk about HOCKEY. This is literally the All-Canadian dream.
All of my other lessons featured students who tried hard and really seemed to get the point of the lesson. I gave 2 level ups and got compliments from the staff about my lessons. After work I celebrated with a relaxing evening watching “The People vs. Larry Flynt” while enjoying some beverages in the cool new beer stein I bought at Tokyu Hands. Sometimes, teaching English in Japan can be a really cool job.
January 5, 2004 – Kinokuniya is the best
Posted by Barniferous in Life in Japan, Tokyo on January 5, 2014
Today I went shopping in Shinjuku. From Noborito, Shinjuku is about 20 minutes on the Odakyu line. Outside the south exit of Shinjuku station is a massive shopping complex called Takashimaya Times Square which has several different stores.
My first stop was Kinokuniya bookstore, which has 7 huge floors full of books. The 6th floor was entirely foreign books and magazines, most of them in English. I bought two books to learn Japanese and Michael Moore’s “Dude, Where’s My Country”.
After Kinokuniya, I went to Tokyu Hands. It is a department store that carries the most and least useful things known to mankind, and everything in between. Their motto is “when you visit, you find what you want”. The most memorable item of the day was a pair of glasses with a flexible camera so you can look into your own ears. Tokyu Hands is definitely worth a visit if you are in Japan.
