For the first book club of the new JET year, fourteen ALTs found themselves gathering at Tits Park fooled by the weather, wearing layers meant for the previous day\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s chill. While waiting for everyone to arrive we made our introductions, some for the second and third time, and were also graced with the presence of an Awaji ALT, not actually going to the meeting but simply recovering from the night before and three Japanese males freestylin\u00e2\u20ac\u2122. Once gathered the group made its way toward what many would consider a hipster part of town between Sannomiya and Motomachi. It is a prime location for any meeting with pedestrian streets surrounded by unique clothing stores, caf\u00c3\u00a9s, and restaurants.<\/p>\n

Arriving at Bambino Kobe Coffee on a third floor, we entered into a cabin themed caf\u00c3\u00a9 decorated with wood tables, counters and images reminiscent of Bambi<\/i>. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a cozy atmosphere where guests have the option of sitting at tables or on comfortable couches. Our host, Mr. Shinohara Tomoyuki, already had water waiting at our tables and after looking over the menu many of us ordered food and drinks before diving into the conversation. The lunch menu included salad and a number of pastas, including your usual spaghetti with tomato sauce, but with an option to put a cheese omelet on top. Others opted for the breakfast-dessert fusion choosing French toast or waffles topped with a healthy serving of cream.<\/p>\n
