I went to a Yoga studio today as well. Then, I was surprised that the
yoga class was held in English. I had never imagined that before!
Actually some students and the instructor were not Japanese, though. I
had to know English vocabulary regarding yogic terminologies; such as
the names of the muscles, names assigned to bones, and nouns of yogic
breathing.
I, however, don't think the point was that. Today's instructor was
kind of famous and he seemed to be a totally flagship, iconic person in
the yoga studio. It's crystal-clear to me, but, he is from Nepal!
His
English was totally hard to listen to!
It was the same as taxi drivers
in Manhattan!
To tell you the truth, during yoga I tried hard not to laugh. I
wonder if it was good for making
muscles soft?!, because his English
made me carry back funny memories from New York.
I long for Indian English in Manhattan!
So you got Nepalese yoga teachers in fitness gyms in Japan now.... We are really international these days.... wow.. I can't do yoga bec I have very inflexible muscles...

Really? Sorry for late response! I was really working hard recently.
So, I'm writing to you! Please wait for a moment.
Speaking of which, I met Rick in Tokyo a few days ago. He seemed to be in Tokyo during his Thanksgiving holidays.
Anyway, I miss you so much. xoxoxoxo
