A new life at 60














After a long week at the office everyone was ready for the staff party. It was a special party in honour of the teachers who are 60 this year. Sixty is a very special age in Japan and signals the start of a new life.

There were four teachers being honoured tonight including the principal and one of the English teachers I work with.

I always dread work parties as it means my Japanese will be put to the test but once I’m there and the beer is flowing a good time is had by all – especially me!
