Student Presentations

My academy rented space at a public building so that our students could do presentations in a professional setting.

Over the course of two days, students took turns to go onto the stage and--microphone in hand--deliver their presentations.

Sanbon Restaurant

There is a restaurant in Sanbon, on the ground floor of the Gunpo Culture & Arts Center, which is quite nice: "Boiled Broccoli".  It has individual shabu-shabu burners (electric) plus a buffet (on the small side but plenty enough and with good variety).

Jokes

Part of the homework for several of my classes was to write two jokes in their notebooks,  Here are a few of the jokes:


Q: Why is 6 afraid of 7?

A: Because 7 ate 9.



Q: What begins with "t", ends with "t", and is full of t?

A: A teapot



Q: What is different between a dead skunk in the road and a dead lawyer in the road?

A: The dead skunk has skid marks before it.
