Once again, we are attending the annual conference organized by the Japan Association of Language Teachers (JALT), which is the largest event of its kind in Japan. We've been privileged to hear famous speakers in our field brought in from Canada, England, the U.S. and other nations, as well as local teachers and researchers, for the course of three days. Today is the final day of our attendance, then we get to rest a little before being back to work, (and hopefully implementing some of the inspiring ideas we've picked up here.
Here is a photo I took during one of the plenary sessions:
This year, the conference is pretty much in our own backyard in Shizuoka city, which is just a short trip away. Even though its not far, the company is putting us all up in a hotel for two nights, which is great for discussing the conference after-hours and general team-building - which we just happened to do at my favourite Mexcian restaurant.
And of course, the "big city" is already lit-up for Christmas:

Is that El Pollito? I miss that place.
El Pollito indeed it is!! And it's as good as ever, with the same owner/chef and great menu.
When in Japan - drink beer :) Is that Corona you are drinking? The girl on the far left is she drinking Dos Equs or something more mundane?
Love the X-mas lights.
Yep - we were all drinking Mexican beers - Dos Equis, Corona and Negra Modelo (not in photo)
