Hi, I’m Sarah, welcome to The Daily English Show.
I’m back here at Saison Club. We do the show here every Wednesday. This bar I’m now, you can see the bar behind me, is called SYNX. It’s spelt s-y-n-x.
And we are organizing an event here every Thursday night. It’s called Thursdays at SYNX. We had the first event last Thursday and it’s a lot of fun. There’s this space here, and the room back there, there’s a pool table and karaoke. There’s a fire right there.
And I’m the bartender, so if you come on Thursdays, I can make you a drink. It’s a lot of fun being behind the bar again. I used to do that in New Zealand and back in Nagoya too.

STICK NEWS
Kia Ora, in Stick News today Tokyo Disneyland has cancelled all of its parades for safety inspections after some planets suddenly crashed to the ground.
Tokyo Disneyland is a theme park in Chiba, Japan. It was the first Disney park to be built outside of the United States and was opened on April 15, 1983.
Yesterday many parents and children were watching a parade near the Cinderella Castle at the center of the park when suddenly some plastic planets crashed to the ground.
The planets weighed 300 kilograms and were on a float in the parade. The crash occurred after the column which was supporting the planets gave way.
Kyodo News reported that no one was injured in the accident.
And that was Stick News for Wednesday 9th of January.
Kia Ora.
