Work goes well.....

We have had a few days of work now and the good news is that it has been really fun!
We are generally teaching lessons to between 1 and 3 students at a time. Sarah had one lesson where she had a huge class of 4 children!! It is really hard teaching so many students ;)
The materials vary in quality but they are fairly easy to work with. They like PPP a lot and it is the core format of every lesson.

We ventured out alone last night and visited an izikaya. To imagine what it is like you should picture something between a bar and a Japanese restaurant. We were incredibly lucky to discover that our chosen izikaya also had an english menu. Food was so cheap! I had some teriyaki chicken livers, grilled quails eggs, and some rice for less than 3pounds. Sarah had a huge radish salad, rice and some grilled veggies for about the same. Unfortunately for our bank balance we stayed out drinking and that definitely wasn't cheap.

Random meetings have become common place and last night we met a very enthusiastic business man that had spent seven years living in Swansea. At the end of the evening he told us that he was a senior manager at an engineering company with 50 employees that require english lessons and that we should get in touch and arrange some private lessons (the bilingual business card magically appeared). We just seem to be overwhelmed with good luck!!!!
We also met a lovely couple the other night. The husband is an artist and had lived in Cardiff while he was exhibiting some work. It's a small world!

I am going to end here and join Sarah doing a bit of Japanese homework.
