Claire's farewell party


To our tremendous sadness, Claire finally left Japan after her five years stint here. Since we own her so much, since she has been so popular among students, especially bunch of tired, smelly, and politically-incorrect middle-aged OYAJI men, and since we appreciate so many things that she has done for us, her farewell party seemed to become kind of hostess clubs at Romance Dori! Many people got together to say thank you to her at one night on late September. Because many people wanted to talk to her, I couldn't get enough time to have a chat with her, but hey, Claire! Again, thank you very much for everything you have done for us! You have been listening to my English since I started Nova nearly four years ago. I am not sure how much my English has improved over the course of those years, but thanks to your kindness, sincerity, and, your phenomenal perseverance against inappropriate remarks, we could really enjoy good time in your voice! Manabu is crying now! So are Toshifumi and I! But we also understand that it is time for you to move on now, So... no cry!
I wish from the bottom of my heart that your experience in Japan would be somehow helpful for your future! We will gossip about you some time at Nishi, and we are looking forward to seeing you some day. But now, see you again and good luck!

Hey Masayuki! It’s Claire! How are things with you? I have such fond memories of my time in Japan and wishi could come back and do it again. I loved reading this blog, even though I’m 13 years late! I have 2 daughters now and I’m teaching my eldest, who’s 3, Japanese vocab. I can’t wait to bring them to Japan one day.
Ps- your English is amazing!
