We finished our kids training today, with all nine of us doing a full 45-minute lesson this morning. I got through mine with only a few mistakes, so I feel pretty good about the whole thing.
As it turns out, AEON Iwaki has already reopened, and the teachers and students have all returned. They're very interested in having me join them as soon as my training is done, and asked if I wanted to do that or put it off for awhile. I felt that if they felt safe and comfortable enough to resume classes I could trust their judgement, so I happily agreed. AEON Iwaki is an A (adults only) school, so I won't be teaching kids after all. It almost seems like a shame now, since the kids lessons we kind of fun. The downside is I won't be spending time in Tokyo, but on the other hand, a 10-minute walk to work sounds good to me. Some of the others have hour-long train commutes, so I can't complain!
Some time in Tokyo would have been fun but you can do that later when you have some money saved up and know the language better. Tokyo can be real costly.
