Last night Yamaguchi sensei (a teacher at Kuniko’s school) came over after seeing a movie with Kuniko after work. Kuniko cooked up some homemade gnocchi with a creamy gorgonzola sauce. This was the second time that she has made the dish, and just like last time it was really good. There was also plenty of cheese and crackers, bruschetta and a salad. A lot of food to eat.
We sat around the kotatsu to stay warm. Lately the weather has gotten a little colder, and we already finished off the kerosene and decomissioned the heater for the year. I hope it starts warming up soon. We just sat and talked, mainly about the school and the teachers that work there. I could listen in and hear some good gossip and really practice my listening skills. When it came to talking I made lots of mistakes, but eventually got my point across. I guess that is what communication is all about.
It wouldn’t be a party without working out on the Wii, so we played a few games of tennis. Yamaguchi sensei likes real tennis, so she was determined to get better at playing on the Wii. She did much better this time – we even played some baseball and bowling to broaden her skill set a little.
We walked Yamaguchi sensei back to the station around ten, and then came back and crashed right out. Too much food tonight…
