My Road to Speaking English Hello. This is owner Hazz. This blog post ended up longer than expected – TL;DR, it’s about the importance of becoming bolder. *** Yesterday, joined by staff who arrived in June and August, I was having a conversation with our staff member Yūki, a fourth-year university student. When I asked […]

Hostelってなんですか？ Hello. This is Hazuki, the owner! Online reservations are typical these days, but once in a while, people call us to make a reservation. Lots of those calls come from elderly people.

オーナーのはづきです！きょうは近隣のコインランドリーの紹介。 Hi I am the owner Hazz. Today I am introducing LAUNDROMATS nearby in the area around my hostel! ホステル内にもコインランドリー置いているんですが、ドライのほうがどうもちょっと弱い。 電気のやつなので、大型のガスタイプと比べるとどうしても乾きが悪いですの。すみませんね。 （それでもTシャツやタオル数枚とか全体量が多くなければ全然問題ないですけどもね） Of course there is a laundy inside my hostel, but the issue is our dryer is not so strong because we are using electricity, not gas. Gas dryer is much more stronger, you […]
