About 65 years ago, a soldier coming home from the war returned to a Japan very different from the place he’d left in 1931. He had been in China during its occupation and had seen the Soviet invasion of Manchuria before making it home. He had witnessed the very worst of human nature.
It has come to my attention, after a year or so of hanging around Kobe’s jazz clubs on the weekend, that I hardly ever see other foreigners who aren’t performing. This is a disappointment. I’ve mentioned my jazz excursions to other ALTs, and they’ve complained that there’s a dearth of information on Kobe’s jazz clubs in English, which is true. With that in mind, I’m starting a new series of articles here at HT, spotlighting jazz clubs and events. I’ll also answer any questions you may have about visiting Kobe to see a live show.
This is a two-parter Maigo. Can you guess where this…particular statue…can be found? Can you also guess what this…guy…is trying to sell you? No wait, that looked weird as soon as I typed it. Okay. Never mind that part! This guy is actually the mascot of a very tasty and popular item. Oh gosh that sounds worse…you know what, never mind. Just start guessing.
Translated from French to English, The Elegance of the Hedgehog is a powerful novel that brings two very extraordinary characters to life. Renee Michel is a concierge at an upper-class Parisian apartment complex. She constantly has to conceal her intelligence from the other tenants in her building for fear they may not appreciate her insights and philosophies – especially if they are coming from one of their apartment employees.

This dashing young man may look familiar if you’re big on Japanese history and drama – moreso if you’re interested in books you shouldn’t write in.

Where in Hyogo can you have such sweet back-of-house seats?

Thanks for guessing! This one may be kind of tough, apparently.. if no one gets it by the 15th, we’ll put up another hint!
Hi just found this nice website, though not an ALT would like to chance an answer
