    Fantastic turn out!

    Thanks for all the pics to help personalize the event.

    Next semester you could...maybe...teach English with a Scottish brogue....?

    Nice photos. You look well put together. It must be me,...but the students seem to look younger now than they did thirty years ago.

    CDN, you remarked that no males chose to wear kimono... I have a western friend who gives lessons in that very thing and she assures me that putting one on properly usually takes hours- although she has participated in a Japanese stage contest where the winner is the lady who gets done first. She was asked to participate when she attended a Japanese event in kimono and mentioned that she had experienced some sort of wardrobe malfunction and had ended up putting hers on in something like 20 minutes. [Real Japanese people assure me that my friend is "more Japanese than the Japanese" and it often seems they are a little scared of her....] Anyway... where was I... oh yes, what I'm saying is that kimono wearing is not a casual thing and it takes a lot of effort to even learn to do properly- besides which I'm told it's hugely expensive. Not generally things men are interested in.
