Japan Local, JETs in the News, Video Comments Off on Saitama JET interviewed on CBS News feature on Japanese school lunches

Update 5/28/13:  I originally listed Karl as a Gumma JET before learning that he’s actually based in Saitama-ken.  Apologies for the error.

CBS News did a feature on Japanese school lunches this past Saturday morning, May 18.  They happened to pick a Higashi Chichibu Junior High School in Saitama-ken where JET Karl Hoeschen works and they ended up interviewing him for the story.
