Hanbit Station has an English language service where users can interact online in various scenarios. It's not the first such service but the gimmick here is that the interaction is with 3D characters. A "training centre" service lets users record their own pronunciation and check it against a native speaker's voice so at least some foreigner got paid.

They used to have some frightening salariman blend at Doutors. By mid-day, there would be a hair-like coating on your tongue, you'd be having nervous twitching as the result of a pin dropping across town, and the urge to clean the office, but you were awake.

Sounds like what used to happen to me (on those extremely rare occasions) when I used to make love to my ex-wife...

Like I wouldn't have three or four lying around the house already....actually, if you round up the 200 or so girls that I drooled over yesterday, and have them come over to my place, that would be the greatest Xmas/Hannukah/Kwanza ever.

this seems to have gotten really off topic. from eikaiwa to car lighter vaporizers. I might be willing to teach for free in a second life experiment as long as someone makes a nakatomi tower to hold that classes in.
