The new job's been a total fluke, but once they offered me the place it was definitely an offer I couldn't refuse (copy editor for the Asahi Shinbun! :shock: ). It's only part time though for the moment so im still going to be teaching 2/3 days a week, but i got to admit as you said it can get a bit claustrophobic, and especially in the eikaiwa biz a bit too much, so a drop in days will hopefully mean more of the good and less of the stress. I saw your link about the Spanish chain, which was one of the things that got me thinking. I don't see the Japanese being as vocal as Europeans would be (especially the southern ones), but i can see how it may affect things for the worse rather than just mean an increase in biz for the smaller/other chains. god knows... I'm confused about the person i've met whose blog you've been on but who didnt know I had a blog, ha ha. check your emails. Thanks.

For example, talking about bloggers who are in the part of the industry with the mutant bee rather than bunnies, turns out that person had a blog which I had been on without making the connection, and they had met you but didn't know about your blog... You are very right about the possible effect on the industry, somewhere between the puns on the world "nova" I've put a link on my blog to the story of what happened to other schools in 2003 after Opening, the second biggest chain of schools in Spain, collapsed.
