My name is Tyler and my wife and baby are with me in Kashiwa and we are from Pennsylvania. My wife taught elementary school for a few years before she came with me overseas. I play for a basketball team here in the city and we have only been here for 1 month. We will stay until March, 2009 and we were looking to connect with some other english speakers as we haven't met many people here yet that we can communicate well with. If you know of anyone or any english speaking groups in Kashiwa that may be interested in meeting a new family, we'd love the chance to connect with them. Or if we can take you out for a cup of coffee or something, please let us know. I hope we are not bothering you, but you seem like a very nice and interesting person from your article. Thanks Yoko! Have a great week!<br /> All the best,<br /> Tyler<br /> (typsu35@hotmail.com)</p> Mon, 01 Sep 2008 04:46:12 -0700 typsu35 comment 717 at http://www.discovernikkei.org/forum http://www.discovernikkei.org/forum/ja/node/2535 <p><a href="http://www.discovernikkei.org/forum/sites/www.discovernikkei.org.forum/files/yokoa.jpg" title="View: yokoa.jpg"><img style="width: px; height:px;" src="http://www.discovernikkei.org/forum/sites/www.discovernikkei.org.forum/files/yokoa.jpg" class="inline" alt="yokoa.jpg" title="yokoa.jpg" /></a></p> <h2>Teaching English in Kashiwa, Japan</h2> <p>By Yoko Joy Kobayashi</p> <blockquote><p>You are one of those people who will ‘go places in life’ – Panda Express fortune cookie</p></blockquote> <p>A few years ago, I received this fortune while dining at the Chinese fast-food establishment known as Panda Express. I am not embarrassed to admit that I love their food. (Kung Pao chicken has always been in my top 5!) However, I am a little embarrassed to admit that this fortune probably served as the catalyst that brought me abroad to Japan.</p> <p><a href="http://www.discovernikkei.org/forum/ja/node/2535">続きを読む</a></p> http://www.discovernikkei.org/forum/ja/node/2535#comment Identity Wed, 25 Jun 2008 11:05:56 -0700 editor 2535 at http://www.discovernikkei.org/forum
