Up until late last year, the home page of the ICC Language Schools website boasted a group photo of all its teachers and staff emblazoned with the slogan: ¡°Please come and join the ICC family.¡± In the dead center of this photo, in pride of place in the front row, was teacher Sulejman Brkic.
In the picture, Brkic is a fresh-faced young man in his early 30s (he is 44 now), immaculately dressed in a well-pressed suit and tie ¡ª a poster boy, almost, for foreign language-school teachers in Japan.
But those were happier times.
