LETTER FROM HAPPY ENGLISH SCHOOL Feb.5th 2025

I have been really lazy and have not written a newsletter for a long time. In fact, I could not bring myself to write this January’s letter and skipped it, which may not be a big deal, though. Do you enjoy reading my newsletters ? I hope so !

I visited Cindy in Tasmania and was really happy to see her again and stay at her big house which has six bedrooms and two bathrooms, from December 25th to 31st. However, I was sick in bed for most of my stay because I had the flu. I was with my friend Shoko, who is also a teacher at Happy English School. She supported me and took care of me during the trip. I owe both her and Cindy a lot for looking after me.

To tell the truth, I enjoyed binge watching the anime “Haikyu” and the live action drama “Oshinoko”. If I hadn’t got sick in bed in Tasmania, I probably wouldn’t have had time to watch them until the end. I mostly just ate and rested, so in a way, it was nice. I asked Yoshi to post Cindy’s message on Instagram. Please check it out. If you can, I hope you will visit Cindy and explore Tasmania. I would love to go back to Tasmania again next time.

1月のレターをさぼって、2月になってレターをしたためています。

12月24日から1月1日の日程でタスマニアに行って、元Happy English Schoolの先生（2022年帰国）のCindyに会いホームステイもさせてもらいました。

しかしながら、行く途中ですでにインフルエンザにかかっていたようで、タスマニアに着いて高熱が出て、実際のところ、Cindyのおうち（豪邸）で寝て過ごしていました。幸い肖子（しょうこ）先生とともに行ったので、Cindyにも肖子先生にもしっかりお世話してもらい、おいしいご飯も作ってもらい、ベッドでビデオを見まくって闘病していました。お陰で普段は見られないであろう、生徒の話題によく上るアニメ「ハイキュウ」や実写版ドラマの「推しの子」を一気見していました。

Cindyのビデオメッセージをインスタグラムに掲載しましたので見てください。次回はタスマニアに寝に行くのではなく（快適ではありましたが）、自然・歴史・文化をしっかり探訪しに行きたいと思います。とにかくCindyのお家を訪ねCindyに会えたことが何よりです。
