My student who is competing in the speech contest this week in Tokyo, had a practice run in front of the school at this morning’s assembly.
I had to introduce her and , being the 適当 person I am, I didn’t bother to remember the name of the contest. All I remembered was that it had the word ’Gordon’ in it somewhere and so I panicked in front of the mic, opened my mouth and out popped ‘the Tokyo Gordon Ramsay English Speech Contest.’
Thank you, Japan, for not knowing who the large majority of internationally famous people are.
(Japan has no idea who Oprah is. OPRAH. Hilary Duff, sure.)
