This nice & sunny second day of the week brought in Ashley, Chelsea and Isabella - by now all regulars, all of them are bosses: Boss, vice-boss, and substitute vice-boss! Again today, we talked about the Nobel Prize, especially this time concerning the Chinese Peace Prize winner - a fact that really upset the Chinese government. I say: Who cares? Naturally, this topic made us discuss politics again, heavy & serious. We talked about Chinese relations with the world community (they're getting carried away, becoming a little arrogant lately!), connections to North Korea, and eventually Japan's and the U.S's position in all this mess. Rumours have it that the Japanese government released the Chinese captain giving ground to U.S. pressure.....it wouldn't surprise me, though I hope it's not the case. It's not for nothing that Japan is sometimes being looked at as the 51st state of America! Trying to lighten the subject a little (and out of pure curiosity), I asked about any developments in the Kita-ku murder case of the senior high school boy as I hadn't had a chance to watch the news during the holidays, but the group told me there were no. Nevertheless, we did talk about this incident for a while before turning our attention to some more pet peeves, which, of course, were also discussed (now we all know that Isabella does her private business on a fully automatic toilet!): And we indulged ourselves with some delicious cocoa-marble-cake, one piece each (as usual!):Okay, community, please keep in mind that the "arrogant Chinese" are only the ones sitting in the government, the "average Joe" on the street is totally all right, and if he's not, he's probably brainwashed by his country and its' media!Have a smile and a great, sunny week, The "Master"

It was "healthy" today - meaning I wasn't alone!
Three nice "girls" pleased me with their company, Chelsea, Lindsey & Brooklyn.
Although it was raining cats & dogs, everybody "landed" here safely, and we talked about the
Nobel prize again, but this time not about the two Japanese, but about the Chinese fellow sitting in prison who received the Peace prize. The Chinese government didn't like this at all, and they're threatening Norway with "consequences". Recently, they always threat other ... Continue reading...

Again today, when I was almost certain I could close my little Cafe, Brooklyn, Tuesday's "Boss", turned up to save my day, soon to be followed by Brittany, a loyal member who can be expected here any day, really. Being the hottest subject in Japan without question since last night, we talked about Alfred N.:
While getting all heated up with the two extremely intelligent Japanese gentlemen, Mr. Suzuki & Mr. Negishi (pictured below, from left to right), Brittany suddenly noticed some figure whoos... Continue reading...

I believe it's Tuesday today, but where is..........THE BOSS? Well, she didn't show up, but all the other "bosses" turned up - Abigail, Crystal and Courtney!Our discussion again turned out to be really serious, kicked off by Crystal: She asked us our opinion on the subject of organ donors (See? Heavy!). Since the Japanese law changed, family member's can decide whether to donate the organs of their brain-dead loved ones, or not. They can decide this without the deceased family member's consen... Continue reading...

First posting in the new month of October, and it's about 27 degrees outside (and 35 inside?) - SUMMER!We had a nice crowd which consisted of Mikayla, Kelly, Samantha and Amy! Amazing considering the past two or threeSaturdays - Thanks!As our "Kasai Farmer", Samantha, showed up today and the harvesting season is full under way, today's main topic was actually RICE!Apparently, Kasai rice is really tasty (What do I know? I'm a potato eater!). Also, Samantha's daughter got her informal decision ... Continue reading...

Haven't seen such a busy Thursday in a while - I suppose a little "Thank you" to Jade would be appropriate (pulling some strings)? So it was Jade, Christina (nice to see you again after some time), Miranda (Ms.Powerful), and loyal Chelsea!Today, we mainly discussed (again) China-Japan relations, and Japan's position on the world's stage in general. For me, it is extremely interesting how (naturally) people of different generations have distinctive views. My "younger" students from my various p... Continue reading...

Well, ladies, time really does fly, doesn't it? Only one more Cafe to go in September, and then it's just three more month until we go "hop hop" into the next year ~ If you were born in the year of the rabbit, then this is YOU:Rabbit (usagi)
Born 1999, 1987, 1975, 1963, 1951, 1939, 1927, 1915. People born in the year of the Rabbit are the most fortunate. They are smooth talkers, talented, ambitious, virtuous and reserved. They have exceedingly fine taste and regarded with admiration and trust... Continue reading...

"Saturday" is not feeling well, "Saturday" is lonely, something is wrong with "Saturday"................
3 weeks in a row only one nose decided to visit the Cafe.....sniff sniff.....
The moment I turned off the fan, Monica walked in and saved my life! Of course, at that time she wasn't Monica yet, as names are decided at a later stage, but you all know that, don't you?
As Monica was also the only one who could manage to check out the German School Oktoberfest (the BEER festival!!), our two mai...

The Cafe was CROWDED! Well, not really, but we had five people here today, which for recent times can be considered a "crowd". This is basically thanks to Miranda (aka Ms. Thursday) , who kindly (or eagerly?) showed up today knowing that next Thursday is a public holiday, and there will be NO CAFE - please take note. Joining her were Jamie, Kelsley, Christina and Heather.Recently, it's very difficult to summarize the day's chat as there's a trend to switch between lots of short topics almost e...
