My friend Dave sings in a band called Revolution. Revolution are playing tomorrow night (Saturday, March 31st) at the Shinsaibashi Blarney Stone in Osaka.

The band will start to play around 8:30 – 9:00 pm. I will be going to the Shinsaibashi Blarney Stone after my last lesson. If you want to join me, come to the school (Be ＆Me 英会話 Club) at 7:00 pm (don’t be late!) or meet me at the pub (Shinsaibashi Blarney Stone Map) any time after 7:15 pm.

This Saturday, March 17th, is Saint Patrick's Day (click here to find out what Saint Patrick's Day is). The Irish Network of Japan is holding a festival near the Osaka City Hall, on Nakanoshima, to celebrate. There will be stalls selling food, drinks, and Irish goods, as well as live Irish music & dancing. Also, there will be a Saint Patrick's Day parade from 1:00 pm. Click on the links below for more information...

Irish Festival Information

Saint Patrick's Day Map

If it isn't raining, I will be going to the festival from about 12:00 pm. If you want to join me, come to the school at 11:30 am (don't be late!) or look for me at the festival from 12:00 pm (I'll be wearing my green-afro wig!). Your friends are welcome to join you -- of course!

There will be several Saint Patrick's Day parties in Osaka on Saturday night. I recommend The Blarney Stone in Shinsaibashi or Umeda (click on the name for information and maps). In Shinsaibashi, you should check out Murphy's Irish Pub (once again, click on the name for information and a map).

This year, I'm planning to drop in to The Blarney Stone in Shinsaibashi. If you want to join me, meet at the school at 7:00 pm (don't be late!) or look for me in the bar anytime after 7:00 pm. Once again, your friends are welcome to join you!

Whatever you do on Saturday, have a great Saint Patrick's Day!

What Did we Learn from the Tohoku Earthquake?

このブログ の日 本語訳はこちら をクリックしてください！

One year ago, Tohoku was hit by a powerful earthquake and tsunami. More that 15,000 people were killed. Some of those people would be alive today if they had taken the time to prepare for a possible earthquake. If you live in Japan, you can expect that some time in the future -- maybe soon! -- you will experience a powerful earthquake.

Are you ready for an earthquake? Please read the following links. If you haven't made an emergency pack, checked where your local evacuation area is, and made plans with your family about where to meet after an earthquake, do it today!

Are You Ready for an Earthquake?

地震の備えはありますか？

I was talking with one of our students about this yesterday. She made an excellent suggestion: You should have a pair of rain boots, a pair of work gloves, a whistle, and a flashlight next to your bed in case an earthquake happens while you are sleeping. The boots & gloves will help you deal with broken glass, and so on, after the earthquake, the flashlight will help you find your way in the dark, and the whistle will help you call for help if you are trapped. Thanks for the great idea, Noriko!

OK! Stop thinking about it -- do something about it now!
