What an interesting quartet that you are working with! You are getting good at... uh, for the lack of a better phrase, being Japanese. So much is unsaid and implied. You just have to play by ear and "follow the lead" a lot of the times. You are becoming very culturally competent, Laura. I'm really proud of you and your teaching.

haha that's funny that you say I'm good at being Japanese - because I feel like when I teach, I'm so different from the other teachers. and I don't feel Japanese at all. but I guess I see what you mean. adaptation and flexibility is the key - and I'm good at that. and as far as being culturally competent, I do have three years of experience here in Japan, and 9 years with a Japanese person. so I have lots of experience - LOL!

but thanks for the support. it means a lot! I hope you're doing good!
