I thought someone might want to see what an autumn rice field looks like.This is in fact what an autumn rice field looks like. I took this picture with my mobile phone a couple of weeks ago in Yamashina. I’ve been teaching part-time at a company there for the last 18 months or so. Then the other day I got this (out-of-the-blue) mail:

Hello Mike,

I’ve got a bad news for you…

Eikosha will stop English lessons this month, so

25th will be the last lesson.

I hope this would not affect your income so badly.

Emi

Which, although the financial thing is no big deal, it was just a bit of pocket money really, does seem you know a little odd and sudden and, without an explanation, kind of rude. So I asked why. And after a few days of silence I asked Emi if she had received my mail asking why. Then I got this one:

Hello, Mike

The reson is …I am not sure, but

Mr. Akitsu had thought the lessons would be 1year or 1 and half

from the beginning, so may be he thought now is the time to stop lessons.

Emi

Thing is, though he may have thought that, he never mentioned it to me. Which I think qualifies him as a rude bastard, don’t you?

Well, I don’t feel like blogging today. But my mate Rik Abel has started blogging again, and he’s wildly intelligent and stuff, so read his instead until I pull my socks up again. The link is to the right of this page under the aptly named “Links”.
