Skype Call – May 2, 2020

We did not have a Skype call today but we did last week. Nari went on a third interview but hasn’t heard anything. We all wish the best for him and feel the weight he is carrying. If he gets the job with Hanshin Railway, he will have to take a combination of four trains and subway lines to get to work within one-and-a-half hours. He mentioned the word kibishii for harsh or severe.

I mentioned an article I read about Professor Tasuku Honjo, a Nobel laureate who stated that the corona virus had to have come from the Wuhan laboratory in China and that it was man-made rather than natural. I have since learned that the post was false and the words attributed to the professor a complete fabrication.

Nari read an ESL article about the Sahara in Morocco having been the most dangerous place on earth 100 million years ago. Paleontologists have found fossils of ferocious predators. Even the fish were five times the size of anything else they’ve seen.

He asked about the phrase “you should jazz up your wardrobe” and “stubborn as a mule.” I hope that next week, we’ll all have something good to report.
