My weekend
At the weekend, there was a workshop by Keiko Abe in Kumamoto about teaching English to children. I was unable to attend the actual workshop so I joined in the dinner the night before the workshop. Keiko Abe is the president of CALA, an organization that does many activities connected to teaching children. She is based in Atlanta, so she rarely gets to Kumamoto. In fact, the last time she came was about 16 years ago, when I attended her workshop.

Today and tomorrow and…
Tomorrow morning, I am going to attend a seminar in Fukuoka, then I have to rush back to Kumamoto for a meeting. I also need to get my Mac's battery checked, so I'm going to go to Fukuoka today to visit the Apple Store. If I can get it seen to quickly, maybe I'll go to the library of Kyushu University as well. Unfortunately, I forgot to bring my AppleCare paper, so maybe I can't get it seen to today without paying!
This weekend is international weekend in soccer. England will play two qualifiers for next year's World Cup in Brazil. I believe Japan is playing Serbia this Friday. Will there be a match next week?
