Meeting people

Ok so before i left from the states they kept saying at the orientation that we should join a club here while in Japan so that way we get to meet natives. So yesterday I decided to go to the badminton club that meets every Monday nights. I go and there are only 5 people there, 3 guys and two women. None of them speak English, Miko, the aunt like figure there, can say a few English words and me who can only understand a few words. Next thing i know one of the younger guys left to get the English teacher at his school ( i thought this guy was one of the students at the local highschool).

well they come back a few minutes later and they are both apparently in their early 20's teaching at the Manba Highschool. After a few minutes of introduction we start playing, i haven't played in like 4 yrs and the English teacher, Aiko, doesn't really play she plays tennis instead so its been a while for her as well. After 30 min of just hitting the bird back n forth they tell us to play Ja Kin Po (RockPaperScissors) and then we start a little competition pairing up with the guys.

It was a good thing that me and Aiko get to play against each other b/c we were both pretty bad. Aiko team won the first round, I won the second. It was a pretty fun experience and they're expecting back next week and even want me to join the a tournament they'll be having on Sept 9th, so i guess i just joined a club.

Tomorrow will be my first day teaching even thou I won't be doing anything until 3rd period.
