Last night Masami and I had our anniversary with Vijay and Mayuko at Yellomoong in Ota. !!? 🎉It has been one year since our very first "Hello Ota" 🎉 HAPPY BIRTHDAY "HELLO OTA!" I must admit it had slipped my mind with getting the few preparations done and then getting into the flow of chatting with people. Even though I had forgotten our anniversary it was like a party anyway! I had conversations with people of different ages, genders and nationalities. It was great to hear all the...

We enjoyed a new venue for "Hello Ashikaga" last night. A big THANK YOU to Moonshine Studio for allowing us to hold our English meet-up event at their friendly, hospitable, cosy bar. The atmosphere there reminds me of a good old fashioned pub back in the U.K. Great people, great food, great drink and a great atmosphere. Thank you Taito. At the English speaking event we had someone from Cameroon who shared many thought provoking experiences. My only knowledge of Cameroon is the famous footballer...

Japanese, Peruvian, Filipino, Indian and British chatted in English last night for our English speaking meet-up, "Hello Ota" @ Yellomoong.

English Meet-up · 26. September 2019
We have been holding our English conversation meet-up, "Hello Ashikaga" for one year now. Looking back over the previous events some things have changed but others have stayed the same, just like anything that lives! The venue has changed several times (now being held at Shimin Plaza, Ashikaga), people have changed and our ideas are changing on how to continue "Hello Ashikaga". What is the same though, is, Masami and I are still here, familiar faces and new faces come along each month and the...
