Japan defeated Mexico 2-0 on Saturday to secure the final spot in the Women's World Cup soccer tournament this fall in the United States
My speech went a lot better than I expected. I totally forgot that my speech was to geared to Japanese people with a small to medium knowledge of English. What I thought would be only 10 min speech, ending up being around 20-25 min! When I first arrived, I observed part of their meeting and was very impressed at their level of English. They were debating about the Iraqi reconstruction process and how if affects Japan. After my speech, there was a Q&A session in which the members asked me questions on my speech as well as Japanese social issues which totally caught me off guard! It was a great experience and I hope to attend more meetings in the future...unfortunately they're Saturday nights! So I'm not sure how that's gonna work out... Other than it being a great experience, I got paid 6,000 yen (approx. $50).
Earlier today Takahashi sensei and his wife came by and dropped off a half pizza for me. Man, he is so koo. Has gone above and beyond to make sure that I'm ok. Anyhow...I really appreciate all that he does for me.
Well...callin' it a night.
