At school today I had a surprising amount of birthday wishes, both from teachers and from students. Back when I had done my self-introductions, some of the students had asked when my birthday was, and I guess they remembered and made sure to swing by and wish me well.
As for the day at work, I had only two classes. One class was cancelled, un-cancelled, changed, and then finally cancelled in the end. So there was a little bit of suspense, but nothing more dramatic than that.
After work I met up with Kuniko in Sannomiya, and we went to have a birthday dinner at Baan Thai. It’s a really good Thai restaurant near the station in a risque neighborhood. It’s a tiny place, and it’s hard to get a seat without a reservation. Luckily Kuniko had called ahead and taken care of everything. We sat down and ordered some juices, and then picked some dishes from the menu.
The menu is pretty big, and there were lots of dishes to choose from. We picked out four different dishes, and when they arrived we had a variety of different flavors. Everything was awesome, and we were both glad that we ended up choosing Thai food. The more I ate, the more I liked it.
After dinner we caught some dessert at the Haagen Dazs ice cream store – somewhere I’ve never been before. It was pretty good – they had some flavors that I had never seen before. Finally we headed on home, and went to bed soon after with our bellies full.
