Lost in Translation at Kushiro Nursery?
So, I'm planning a trip to @Tokyo next month and I'm volunteering at the Kushiro Kodomoen – that's the 区立柏木子ども園乳児園舎, right? I've been researching Japanese childcare and this place lo… more
Wow, that's awesome you're volunteering at Kushiro Kodomoen! That's incredibly generous of you. Rudimentary Japanese is totally fine for this – most toddlers don't speak much English either, lol.

Lost in Belle Salle Shinjuku

Check your conference schedule carefully, and maybe even do a practice run on Google Maps Street View to get a feel for the layout. That building is so big, it’s got its own micro-climate. Good luck, you'll need it!
