Austin-sensei's offical welcoming party.

I'm a bit pressed for time today so there will be no introspective investigative review of Austin's welcoming party held last night at Cho-min Hall. It was the normal stiff affair followed by a looser English teacher party to follow. I would have liked to have gone to the afterparty but I only learned of it 30 minutes beforehand, and it was not enough time to make other arrangements as I had made commitments for the night last week. I think this is Austin's first appearance on my blog; it shows him making his official remards in Japanese. I promise something really interesting tomorrow that stretches all the way back to the folk fest.

edit: Austin is Shikaoi's new English teacher from Calgary.
