With Wakayama done, it's time to turn my attention to facilitating a small group discussion about John Locke and the Social Contract, I thought...when I turned up to Musashino today, it turns out it was to give a lecture to second year students, not a small seminar group...oh.
Anyway, I did, and it went alright. Part of the exercise was to present in English to give the students an opportunity to hear spoken English. Most of the following discussion was in Japanese...that was different. It's fair to say the lecture, lunch and following meetings went well with some new opportunities coming up in 2015.
Anyway, finishing up about 3.00pm gave me just enough time to look around Ariake a little more closely with the big cam, something I'd been keen to do for a while. So apologies for the pictorial blast but here's a selection...
