A very crowded Tuesday welcomed our new, "young girl", Kelly today! Hello, Kelly, welcome to the group, the team, the "club", the party! I'm sure you had a good time today, 'cause we noticed you smiling & laughing a lot! Great! Thanks to our "veterans" Crystal, Abigail, Kelsey, Jade and Briana taking "good care" of Kelly, today's chat was a success!
Of course, also contributing to this nice day was the cake, "Apple Yogurt":
It was really juicy & delicious.
Now, please take a guess what we talked about the most today:
A - The Olympics in Vancouver
B - My "private Olympic" at Takasu Snow Park in Gifu
C - Michael Jackson
This is a picture of my son at the "Takasu Olympics":
We had great Weather. On the left, you can see a stupid snowboarder with extremely short legs!!
So, I guess you all know the answer to the quiz - yes, of course, Vancouver. I was actually surprised how much our group was into the games, there was great excitement here today! In my case, although I really love snow & winter sports, somehow I can't get too excited this time. The reason for this is, that there's a cloud of misfortune hanging over the event: First, no snow. Second, the terrible, fatal accident. Third, the demonstrations against the games & capitalism as a whole (they do have a point, I think).
Other stories today: Briana's visit to a very suspicious, fishy book shop selling entirely English books somewhere in Motomachi, really expensive, too. And a little "MJ" for Kelsey, about the re-make of "We are the world", featuring a
dead guy.....
And of course, last but not least, today's "study material", a convenient slang:
Thanks for showing up, and we hope to see you soon, Kelly!
We all enjoyed your company
The "Master"

In a way, today was a little special, because a new member came in for a "trial". Why was this special? Well, because his name was Ian, from some Hebrew country. Yes, that's right, reinforcement for the male contigent! And he was kind of young, too! Maybe you ladies should come and "check him out", ha ha ha!
Saturday's members, Madison and Lindsey (both from England, they arrived together!) took excellent care of the new gentleman! I think we all had a good time - Welcome Ian, and please come ... Continue reading...

We were quite a "big bunch" of people today, even Thursday-Faces showed up! I suppose that's because the Cafe will be closed due to a national holiday this week Thursday. Please don't forget:
!NO CAFE THURSDAY THIS WEEK!
Let's check the names & origins - Cassandra, Monica and Christina from Greece, Emily from some Latin place (I think she said Spain), Brittney from England, and Kelsey from Scandinavia.
Christina - Nice to see you again (first time this year) - Good that you were fine!
Kelsey -... Continue reading...

Sorry to disappoint all of you who are always looking forward to the latest blog posting (which of course is ALL OF YOU!), but last Saturday I had to rush off. No, NOT to go drinking, my insurance salesman was coming to our house!
So, of course, today I don't have the slightest idea what we talked on this day - remember, I'm not getting any younger!
Naturally, Monica & Cassandra (both form Greece) had a splendid time, and so did I!
(I'm listening to "Ghostbusters" on iTunes radio right now - ãªã... Continue reading...

Our small, Thursday group today was formed of Sabrina, Kelly, and Laura! We started talking about movies as Laura had just seen Avatar - she said she was sitting in a row very far in the back, but thanks to the 3D effect, it felt like the third row! Wow! I got curious, but I won't go and watch the movie for ethic reasons. Later, Kelly told us about the fascinating broadcast of the Grammys - Lady GaGa, and how Pink got all wet, circling and singing at the same time. Boy, I can't even sing in a ... Continue reading...

Hi, community! All participants today came from "the Island" up left in Europe:
Ashley, Alicia and Lindsey from England were joined by Kelly from Ireland.
Today, we chatted about the usage of personal computers, and I tried to tell the still
hesitant ones that computers are actually fairly easy to use. Basically, they tell you
everything you need to do, confirm all your actions (are you sure you want to delete this? Or:
This action cannot be reversed, etc.), and they only know what people taught t... Continue reading...

Hey! Wow! Incredible! Unbelievable! For the first time in over three years it finally happened! What? The coffee maker broke, so no coffee? Wrong! Not a single word of Japanese was spoken? Wrong!
Too many people showed up, so I had to ask some guests to come back another time? No, wrong again, as
today's members were only Edward, Sabrina, and Ray. What did you say? Edward, Sabrina, and Ray?
Get it?
We ate delicious marble cake:
And did an idiom which was a little difficult, I'm sorry for that:
That'... Continue reading...

One more Cafe to go, and we'll already be welcoming February - time really flies, doesn't it!? First, there were only two girls from England, so we were counting on a quiet Thursday, but at exactly 14:00 another happy face showed up, also from England: Heather, Alicia, and Courtney.
When the conversation got carried away about movies (I started it, mentioning Avatar), 3D, TV sets etc, and we were enjoying this,
the door opened (around 14:30) and another lady showed up - Abigail! She came for "è¦... Continue reading...

Close to full house today: Sabrina, Elizabeth, Mikayla, Emily, Amy, and Catherine all met here for the sole purpose of EATING this:
Ok, just kidding! The main purpose of course was to speak and learn a lot of new English, and today's phrase
everybody seemed to have enjoyed:
Our free conversation was about......was about........was about what? Boy, I forgot! Really!
I talked a little about my day at the skiing grounds, our "Kakogawa-team" chatted about the location of some
shop (was it a shop?), El... Continue reading...

You know, I'm starting to run out of ideas of how to begin each posting...... Hello,........Ok,...........Today,.........any good suggestions? Maybe I should
change the language? Something like this, maybe:
Bonjour, aujourd 'hui Chelsea,Hannah, Alicia et Emily....
Ok, this of course, was French, but I'm sure you all know that today four people
showed up, and what their names were!
Although we DID try hard again to keep our topics "light & easy", we did end up talking politics, global
warming (is... Continue reading...
