The Odessa, a sanctuary where gaijin teachers from all over can grieve over the mangled English they hear on a daily basis. Afforded with a sound-proof studio for karoke, sloshed gaijin can select any song, ignore the original lyrics, and impovise an original song bemoaning their worst, "box o'rocks" students/classes. A favorite is The Beatles' "Let it Be." Its bastard offspring is lovingly sung as "16-c," signifying an adult class that harbours Japan's notorious offenders of broken English. . .
