Tuned into some wildlife show where they’d trapped an octopus in a jar, to show how amazing it was that it can unscrew the lid of the jar and escape. The Japanese really are not kind to animals sometimes (see here and here). But this week is going to give me time to regroup and work out my strategy for teaching this family. And next weekend I’ve got the 2 Open Water Students from Saturday heading to the ocean. I’m looking forward to that as it’s always good to see and hear their reactions when they experience the underwater world for the first time. A review of my Kansai trip will come in the next blog entry, so until then take care and dive safely.
