New Agora School Update

At AGORA we are proud to be the only school in Fukushima to emphasize culture as we teach our students English, French and Spanish. This being said, I was at a loss the other day when I was approached by a total stranger in a grocery store. A women (mid 40's) asked me, as if I were her teacher, if she should buy the granolla-type cereal muesli 'with fruit' for her German guest's breakfast. She explained that she had no idea what to prepare for her over-night guest as it was her first time to receive a foreigner in her home. Thinking about it now, the answer was obvious; "Just prepare a traditional Japanese breakfast and don't worry about it!" At the time, though, I was at a loss for words and mumbled something about possible alergies.

The next time this happens I will be sure to swiftly present my business card (with a smile) and offer to help with bridging the cultural gap on any future occasion!!
