Shigemi Ishii is a volunteer Japanese language teacher for Yokohama City in the Aoba International Lounge. She wanted to experience life in a foreign country, so we sent her to Crown English with her friend, Hatakeyama-san in the (New Zealand) winter. Although the weather was notso good, they were lucky to have a homestay in one of the best parts of town and had such a good time that she has been back again to Palmeston North, a small provincial city, and is going back again to Auckland to do an aromatherapy course next year.
