TV Debut

Well, obviously not being able to speak Japanese and having absolutely zilch general knowledge, I did what any sane person would do - I went on a Japanese TV quiz show.

Yes, along with 15 other foreign suckers I had my fifteen minutes of fame courtesy of IBC television. It will be aired at the sociable time of 1.28am on the 15th and 22nd of this month. A time at which I am hoping not a single student will be out of bed.

Actually, it wasn't that bad, and our team did manage to come second. Although, having learnt a lot of really useless facts about Japan between being told about it and the filming two days later, it was mostly pot luck and opinion based questions, and we pretty much only had to speak English.

The format was four teams of five people. In our team we had me and Anna from UK, a Chinese man called Li, a Japanese student called Tatsuya, and Dean from America. Definite highlight of our teams performance was being able to name all 7 world cup winners.
