I've Come Un-Schtumm
I decided never to share the blog with anyone in Japan, for hopefully obvious reasons.
However, it became time to let Keiko in on the website; officially the second person living in Japan to be a part of the readership. I was a bit apprehensive telling her, but as I've been publishing photos and stories about her online it only seemed fair to ask her for permission.
She was amazed how in-depth and nicely presented it is; although she's corrected quite a few Japanese mistakes already. It'll be good to have an editor in that sense. Plus, with all the travelling we've done together, it's nice for her to have a memento. She even said that many tourists and even Tokyoites would buy the book if it was published.
Actually, as I was showing her around the blog - she has a LOT to catch up on! - and there were so many entries I'd forgotten about. It was at that moment where I knew all the time and effort doing this was worth it.

It gives me great pleasure to be the first among us collective readers of the blog to say,
"Hello Keiko!!!".

i just emailed grandma jean saying you could have made this a book!
Philip, from the begining we said you should make this a book. Perhaps their is an industry out there.... directed at the language schools, like a teachers insiders guide".... maybe split into distinct areas.... a funny book of stupid things students say.... could be an Xmas best seller.
It would also be good to have a natives input.... so come on keiko lets see your views on the foreign teachers... and the silly things they say and do...
Hello everyone!!!
I was very nervous and it took long to leave my first comment here. This blog is wonderful because I feel like I'm having the second traveling as I read through each story. I am so glad that Phil let me know this blog:)
