Big English language school NOVA faces sales ban. It is very big school, I wonder there is one NOVA in each train station in Tokyo area.
Talking about English school. I did not know these funny TV ads of Berlitz "German coastguard". I think this was made by Scholz & Friends, Berlin. And they got some ad awards by Berlitz poster "Chinatown" too. Since this these posters has the same concept, I suppose they are works of that agency too. Pretty good sense.
The toe box of this style of MBT is very narrow. I have narrow feet but this toe box is still very narrow and even a larger size would not afford much more room in toe box. But this is a handsome shoe.

I used to teach for ECC. All of the chain schools are deceptive like this, both towards students and teachers; Nova is just getting in trouble for it now because they're the largest, probably. It will be interesting to see what happens to the industry if Nova has to close down. Because they're so large, it will cause thousands and thousands of people, both Japanese staff and foreign teachers, to lose their jobs. I know a lot of Nova teachers are already starting to look for new jobs.
Even though I used to work for one, I think that these big schools are probably actually a pretty bad way for Japanese people to learn English. It would be better to take direct private lessons from a native speaker, take classes at a university, or, if possible, go to an English-speaking country to study.
