We had dinner with the 25 teachers from Japan and met and talked with them. Tomorrow we will have meetings all day.
We are staying at the Airport Hyatt. It is three hours behind Detroit time here in SF. I am exhausted, but excited. Time to sleep.
This is Yoshi, a teacher from Japan. His English is much better than my Japanese! Can any of you teach me some Japanese? I want to learn the basics - hello, goodbye, my name is..., please, thank you, and counting 1-10. I'm off to a good start with my name tag.
