Raw men eat ra-men!


毎週月曜日に江別市野幌のほうに行って英会話を教えています。ほとんどマンツーマンのレッスンですので、生徒達ととても仲良く授業を行っています。3番目の授業はTさんとのレッスンです。Tさんは僕と同年齢ですが、彼は携帯電話のソフトを作る仕事でとても忙しい日々を送っています。でも、日本人の男性らしく、ラーメン屋にとても詳しい人です。いつか食べに行きましょう!と私が言ったら、ようやくその日がやってきた。英会話スクールを経営してるHさんと一緒に「虎鉄」に食べに行きました。とっても美味しかったです!やっぱり北海道と言えばラーメンですね!(味噌ラーメンがおすすめです。)


Every Monday evening, I head out to Nopporo which is in Ebetsu City, and teach English conversation there. The classes are pretty much one-on-one lessons, so I've been able to get to know my students fairly well. First, a married couple who both teach at universities (different ones, some 3 hours apart), and their 6-year old (soon 7?) daughter. Then, a cardiologist who seems to know everyone in town. Lastly, "Mr. T" - a software engineer for a cell phone company. He's the same age as me but he works LONG hours. Perhaps as a result of that, he knows all the good ramen shops in the area. So during class one day, I said, "Let's go eat ramen together someday!" Well, finally that day came this past Monday. He took us to a place called Kotetsu. It was really good! I recommend the Miso Ramen (it's the only one I tried, but it was tasty). We brought along the man who runs the English school, Mr. K. He's a trivia master, so we got to hear all about the mafia and crazy stuff like that. Good times with a few real Hokkaido men!
