I am getting busy as you might be able to tell from my recent postings (or rather NO postings!), so this is 
 a combined one, a "コラボ"!!
On Saturday, Jack, Jade, Jamie, Angela, Ian, Emily, Heather and Miranda showed up! That's a BIG WOW - FULL HOUSE!
And my excuse for NOT blogging on this day? He he he - HERE:









Because we had the first ever "Cafe Nijikai" in downtown Akashi - I had a great time! Thank you sooo much for organizing this unforgettable event!
 
Our study paper for this day looked like this:




And today the Cafe was comparably quiet - only 4 happy faces! Shelby, Ashley, Alexandria & Tiffany decided to beat Typhoon number six and please me with their company.
Alexandria told us about her "delicious meal" - a stomach camera! But as she is "consuming" one every year, it wasn't so special to her!
Ashley mentioned her experience she had with a very small filling of wine she joined in for a toast, not feeling too well after it!
Poor Ashley - I like wine very much!
Tiffany told us about her first ever visit to the famous Gion Mazuri where she and her sister were beating the heat hiding under a tree, watching the huge "Tachihoko" go by! They later enjoyed a nice, Japanese lunch.
Shelby got excited talking about soccer - and frankly, how can one NOT be excited?? Congratulations!!

And today's paper? Well, this one:



Okay, the storm is coming - better get home!

Thanks for coming,

The "Master" (with the short hair)
