English clues I was giving for something that was on the school lunch menu from this month.
"It's from France"
Answers...spaghetti, sliced bread, bibinba, yaki soba
"Chocolate Bread"
Only answer...choco bread...which isn't on the menu and never has been as far as I can remember. When I told them answer is what they call "cocoapan" cocoa bread, NONE of the students knew that cocoa had anything to do with chocolate...the bread is brown and tastes of chocolate and there is also a chocolate drink in Japan called cocoa.
I will defend Japan in saying that this BLANK could probably only happen in this particular BLANKy class.
My blog about my 2 years living in the arsecrack of nowhere in Japan as an English teaching assistant. In 2011, I left London for a tiny village amongst the ricefields in the hope of spending all day every day eating sushi. My village had no sushi restaurant. So not only someone with no experience of the Japanese language, the Japanese culture or teaching English, I was also sushi-less.
