英会バー is a bar. It’s not a test, not a job interview, it’s not an anything. It’s just a bar, and we are glad you are here. Welcome.

Come as you are, be who you are. Speaking Japanese is fine. Sitting back and listening to whatever is going on around you is fine. I think your English will surprise you.

It is not easy for everybody to get along, but Japan has found a way to do it. There are a lot of rules and expectations. Those rules and expectations create a lot of harmony an a lot of unhappiness. People have to hide a lot away. See no, hear no, speak no whatever it is you have to keep it locked up inside. Sometimes we need a chance to let it all out.

One of the things people in Japan have to do is learn English. And they do, for a test, and then they lock it up and throw away the key.
