first official na lesson

10:14 Monday 25 September 2017 JST

NA is the two letter designation for a new lesson I will be teaching on Mondays. It is within walking distance of the Monday morning lesson, but there is a bit of a gap in between so I am chilling at a restaurant in Tokyo Tower.

Lesson was tough at first when I tried terribly to explain my intention to the group of quietly patient students. Man oh man they had a bilingual woman last time; how I wished she had been in attendance!

Got it sorted out after I started doing role plays, in which, fortunately, I was able to incorporate some of the words we had gone over before. Yay for winging it!

In other news; it looks like a boat race place is being built in Roppongi! Ain't water for miles around but the signs at a construction site were all about boat racing.

it all started here

Okay so it all started ten years ago. I made Marble Track 2 during my free time at work and then made this video.

People asked how I made the marble track. It's a simple question without a simple answer. "I glued sticks together.."

I decided I should answer by showing the pipe cleaner characters making the track. So this set of videos (which will eventually be one video) will answer the question about how to make the track.
