Hello everyone, I hope you are all well on your way to having a great Golden Week! ?I will be disappearing for a few days with the hope that no one can find me. ?I’m simply going to run and study and maybe drink a few beers along the way. ?I will also be doing lots of reading as well. ?In preparation, I have purchased a few books. ?My most recent buy is a Japanese book on how to remember things. ?I have always been absent-minded. ?I am constantly misplacing and forgetting things and it has only gotten worse with age. ?I am not sure if it is the beer or the fact that I barely exercise my mind these days, but lately it’s been getting a bit ridiculous. ?In any case, I am all about killing two birds with one stone, so I figured I would get the most out of the book by reading something in Japanese.

In any case, it couldn’t possibly make my memory any worse!

Until next time,

Anand

Hello everyone, this is Anand with another Awesome English update!? I hope you are all having a good time as the weather gets warmer and warmer.? While I spend lots of time teaching and using English in my daily life (despite being in Japan), I find that, regrettably, I never seem to have enough time to get any reading done.? I used to always have my face buried in a book when I was a kids and well into my university days.? These days work keeps me so busy that I can never seem to find those moments of time to pick up a book and read.? I have been trying to correct this though.? Now I make a point of reading for 30 minutes before I go to bed no matter what time it is.? As a result, I have slowly and surely made my way through the classic novel The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas.? It’s a fun adventure with plenty of fighting, comedy and sex (though it is never referred to as such) for anyone to enjoy.? If you ever have the time, I say check it out…and if you don’t have the time, I say make the time!

That’s all for now!

Hello everyone, hope you all managed to enjoy the cherry blossoms at their height! ?Sakura season is definitely over looking at the tattered trees outside of my window.

I hate giving up and I like to try lots of new things. ?The combination of these two things has given me a lot of grief in my life. ?I find myself signing up for lots of different courses and classes, none of which I have time for but then refusing to give any of them up. ?One of the things I tried signing up for recently is piano lessons. ?I used to play a little in Katsuura, but I had to give it up for various reasons. ?Unfortunately these days I am infinitely more busy than in my previous days in Katsuura. ? That didn’t stop me from being bullheaded and buying a giant piano that takes up a huge amount of my apartment.

There comes a time when you have to simply know when to quit, and it is looking like it is high time to do so now.

In short…does anyone want to buy a piano?

Hello everyone, this is Anand with another Awesome English update. ?I hope you guys are doing well. ?I have a lot of hobbies – Japanese, running, piano, etc. ?but one I don’t bring up too often is my fascination with the Nazi regime and Adolf Hitler. ?I suppose the reason is because it just kind of stands out as a little odd to people. ? However, I find the whole idea that such an insane group of human beings were able to take over what is now an economic power and a model to the world for education and efficiency. ?What is it about Hitler that allowed him to reach great heights? ?And what is the basic flaw in the human character that let us lift such a man up? ?These are questions that fascinate me and have driven me through volumes of work on the man and his followers. ?Japan always has an interesting perspective to me because of its unique ties to him, and I have always been a fan of Osamu Tezuka’s Hitler story. ?And now it’s being turned into a play! ? Who’s going to go with me?
