My birthday in Shizuoka
Last weekend, I had to go to Shizuoka to help manage a very large teachers` conference. It was for around 1,800 language teachers from around the world. I had to schedule and manage around 80 student helpers from Tokai, Shizuoka Prefectural, and other universities. It was a lot of work but I enjoyed it.
Anyway, because it was my birthday, my family came up to join me and it was nice because I was also in charge of the tea and coffee stand. So we spent a lot of time there. They had a large area outside with international food… Swedish, Australian, Mexican, and many others. And my English tea too. It rained a little but we were in tents, so it was no problem.
Although it was a working time, it was one of my best birthdays for a long time because there were so many friends around. I had a really great time!
