We are most honored and delighted to welcome 12 new students into our Sanuki Program. They are the 11th batch of the program. They come from Taiwan, Brunei, China, Turkey, France, Bhutan, Thailand, and Korea... nice, isn't it? My colleagues and I hope they will have a fun time learning and studying with us.

Message from students (8th Garden Party @ Lrong Sensei's house)

Many thanks to Moses and friends for spending time to create this wonderful message of thanks to me for holding the 8th Garden Party. It was my honor and pleasure to be able to spend time with all these fine, young people. I hope to be able to host more of these parties to share the joy of simplicity... of friendship, and of course, to share a bowl of udon together... Once again, thank you to all students who came all the way to my humble abode...

8th Garden Party at Lrong Sensei's house

Once again this year, I invited a bunch of students to spend a day at my house. These students are mainly from the 10th batch of the Sanuki Program, plus students from some other programs, including some Japanese students as well. As in previous occasions, I bought all the ingredients, provided all the cooking utensils, furnished all the required firewood... The students had a good time cooking Sanuki Udon, creating a unique recipe that is found no where else. I also had the students cooked a red bean dessert. And the bonus was, I taught them to bake a lemon cake, using fresh lemon from my garden.

The Lunch Presentation Meeting series continues in the year 2019. New students coming in the spring are slated to present on any topic of their choice. For the series 130-133, we have had students from Ghana, Thailand, Taiwan, and Brunei presenting. We are very happy to see many Japanese students coming to listen, and asking questions to the presenters too.
