My brother and I are 2nd in command at this school and we are getting larger every year. The owner is getting older and we plan to take over the school full time. We would love to design it around Shenmue and have members of the Dojo come teach English and live our their dreams of living in Guilin.
We have many connections here and a degree is not required for our school. Some basic Chinese is required though. You don't need a teaching Visa either. A basic passport is all you need but you have to leave within 90 days.
We are still in the planning stage for how we are going to do this.

I still habe hope YS.net will get back to my request to open up some more dinner options. I dont see the problem with printing some more copies of the Shen scripts and adding an extra seat at the dinner table. The 10k is there if they really want it, but i am not giving all that money just as a donation.
Peter, I feel I owe you. I will make it up to you. I promise. I never go back on my word. I have a kinship with Irish people.
I love Fanore and Galway and thought of living there someday. I've been there twice. Maybe you can still come to Japan with us somehow.
Mate, God no dont feel any negative thoughts! Im cool now! Just the rawness of the immediate aftermath of the realisation i didnt have the money in place sooner. That is 100% my own fault, and theres no reason to feel bad.
Im over the moon now that you are a 100% proper Shenmue fan, and also are getting an excellent opportunity which is so muchly deserved with all the amazing work you do. Way more amazing and humble than any work i do in my life. You are more than worthy, and you will have an awesome time! Plus you will get to meet the legendary LanDC. Matt is such an awesome guy!
Also Galway is my favourite place on this planet! Its easily the most beautiful place i have ever been to, and a true testament to how amazing Ireland is a place to be in. The luck of the Irish favoured you here mate. Im full Irish, so the luck of the Irish for me, is actually bad luck so it all checks out
You never know, maybe i could be there with you if YS.net get back to me with some positive news. Like i said, i dont see the problem with throwing an extra bowl of noodles on the table and a few seconds to shake Suzukis hand. But if not, then thats cool. Whats meant to be is meant to be and i have zero problems with that.
