Before I start today's meaningless babble, I'd like to thank you all for book suggestions. I'll certainly look into those recommendations, and I look forward to continuing my new found hobby. Now, onto today's business...
I met with my friend Jonathan after work today to explore some parts of the city we haven't seen yet. Luckily, the halfway point between our apartments is a huge sporting complex in Nagai, surrounded by a cozy little park, with odd fountains and interesting trees. A little further down the road is one of Osaka's oldest shrines, Sumiyoshi Taisha. Luckily, both of these are within biking distance (2 subway stops to Nagai, and a bit further to the shrine) so we braved the heat and discovered many wonderful things. I also found out today that when Jonathan says he knows a little bit of Japanese, he's being very modest. It was a nice benefit to have someone who could speak to people, ask questions, and get information. Anyhow, check it out!
Nagai Park and Sumiyoshi Taisha: I may not be able to say the names correctly, but at least I know how to bike there.
Cheers!

(Here are some related questions Sean and I had that you may or may not want to address... is it one-on-one coaching, or whole classes? is it by appointment or do you have a regular schedule? are the people you are teaching in japan or elsewhere?)
