Third day of work today and we are slowly starting to get more students. The vast majority of them are returning students and while at this point there is just a few students spaced throughout the day, in a couple of weeks branches are expected to be back to full capacity. Today I only had to teach one student and so the rest of my day was spent reading, talking with the other teachers, sleeping, and various other forms of amusement. As mentioned before I'm lucky in the sense that all of the other teachers are fun and personable people and we had a lot of fun today just killing time with stories and jokes.
One example is that another teacher is currently dating the granddaughter of the man who founded Shinsei Bank in Japan, which is one of the major banks at least here in Osaka and possibly all over Japan. So her only job is to spend money. Seriously. She has an allowance of 300,000 US dollars a month and I'm fairly certain this doesn't include the money she is allotted for her penthouse apartment and equally posh house. She also lavishes her boyfriend with clothes and various other gifts, so all in all I think he is a pretty lucky son of a gun. So needless to say I work with a varied group of very different, but very fun teachers.
