Happy New Year!

Welcome back to class! I hope all of you have had a good rest and ready to finish this semester with some interesting ideas and discussions.
I apologize for not being able to have 2 presentations (from Mongolia and Germany) about table manners last class. My computer actually burned up! I had to buy a new one over the vacation. So, let's have the presentations on January 7th.
After the presentations, we will have a small discussion about Men and Women issues, then presentations by Brazil and Phillippines.
This week's homework is to read an article from the Japan Times and give your opinion. http://search.japantimes.co.jp/member/member.html?ek20060110ks.htm

Do you agree or disagree with the author (who is Japanese). Please explain why in your blog.
Thanks. Next class, January 21st, is our final study class with a reflections class on January 28th. I hope to set up the guest speaker for the Jan 21st class. Will let you know later.
S. Meiki
