All of us gaijin were seated in front of the kids. Mrs. Goto (owner of Hop Step Jump) is trying the Cote d'Ivoire drums owned by "Kaku" (behind her). We gaijin were from the US, England, Australia, New Zealand, Cote d'Ivoire, Czech Republic, Italy, Nicaragua, and Spain. All but Andy and I were permanent residents. Some have visa problems. Most are married to Japanese. The children think it's a great diversion. They jump and climb all over us when we break apart into individual classrooms. Learning English is a huge game.
