Hey,
I'm sorry I haven't been able to post anything for the last few weeks because I still do not have any internet connections at the moment! (I'm using my university's connection right now)
As everyone have guessed, I am now in Melbourne, currently in my 2nd week of stay and I'm really enjoying the cold winter in the city, although there isn't any snow at all. =/
Thanks to my previous post, I was able to meet up with a few Shogi players in Melbourne and it is really a great honour to join their gathering. =) A great thanks to Darren, who is the organizer of the gathering, for letting me know about the Shogi gathering so I can continue practising my Shogi by playing against Shogi players.
The sad thing about being in Melbourne is that there aren't any Japanese bookstores! (or I haven't been able to locate them) And Kinokuniya is only available in Sydney, which is hours of flight away! Fortunately I was able to find a Japanese gift shop that actually pre-orders magazines from Japan so I was able to subscribe myself copies of 'Shogi Sekai', which is a great thing for me to continue improving my shogi skills!
At the moment there isn't much happenings in Melbourne regarding Shogi for me, but I do hope I could get heavily involved with Shogi-related events in Melbourne in the coming future. I heard that there is a Shogi club in Monash University, so I might try to contact them someday.
If there is anyone who stays in Melbourne and is interested in learning or playing Shogi, please leave your contacts in the comments so we can meet up in Boxhill's train station this sunday!
Regards,
Ryou Takehito

Hi Ruou
Thanks for your kind words.
I'll try to get something organized soon.
Hope you're not feeling the cold too much!
Darren
Hello, I am trying to get in touch with Darren in Melbourne regarding a shogi workshop at our primary school. I have lost his phone number and want to confirm if he can come to our school, could you pass on this message please. My name is Helen Angwin-Sato: hangwing@hotmail.com. Thank you.
Me again! Realised my email address is wrong (typo!)
hangwin@hotmail.com
PS I have spoken to Darren so he should know me and will know what this is about, thank you.
Hi Ryou,
My boyfriend and I are watching the Naruto anime and he's keen in learning how to play shogi and would love for someone to teach him and someone to play with! (I'm not so much of a strategist!) Are you still around/interested in social games/teaching?
