I’m too sexy for my comic…
November 6th, 2008
Sorry, I know I’m off schedule right now and everything, but I had to take time from my schedule for a photo shoot for the local news magazine. Watch out for my super awesome photograph on the 25th for S-Style, where I’m totally in a photo for the English cafe that I’m working at. One step closer to fame and fortune.
Disclaimer: Not nearly as big a deal as I’ve made it out to be.
haha, nice!
and more importantly, there’s an english cafe in Japan? What does that mean? Is it like the other theme restaraunts… so like 80’s style or something? Or… is it more like the anser to Japanese Steakhouses?
Also, I dont’ know anything about this magazine, so I’m counting on you to buy a copy and scan the picture and article when it’s out <.<
Basically what the English Cafe thing is, is just a place that Japanese people can come to speak English. It’s just understood when you go in that the primary language to be speaking is English unless there’s a real reason not to. My job is to be the foreigner. I answer questions, help with grammar, pronunciation, that sort of thing. It’s a laid back job, and talking English is something I actually know how to do, so it works for me ^_^
ok… thats kinda-sorta creepy =o. Did you ever hear about the towns they had in Russia where everyone acted and worked just like they were in America so they could infiltrate our society better?
…
you’ll let us know if they’re planning something like that… right <.<?
There’s an English town in Korea that another English teacher that we knew just moved to recently. In that town you have to speak English, so Koreans go to practice talking and transacting…sounds kinda similar to the Russian situation, but it might be more like an American ‘China Town’ I’m not really sure, but I know she’s getting paid well to live there and work at a general store.
The English Cafe thing is more for people that study English as a hobby and can’t speak well, and people who used to live in an English speaking country but don’t have the opportunity to talk to native speakers anymore. It’s very casual but if I catch wind of conspiracy I’ll alert the public.
An English town in Korea you say… .. thats just what they want you to think <.<
