Notes
kill an hour 暇をつぶす;
reunion 再会の集い
—————————
I went to a language teaching conference in Tokyo over the weekend. I’ve known some of the teachers for more than 15 years. Of course, we talk about teaching, but the conference is also like a reunion, a chance to see old friends. Last night I had a long talk with one teacher. We had dinner, but I still had a couple of hours before my bus left. We didn’t feel like coffee. Can you guess where we spent an hour talking? On the Yamanote Line. We started at Harajuku and took the train all the way around Tokyo! When we got back to Shinjuku, we said goodbye and I went on to Tokyo Station. (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)
