Man, it’s hot – hot and wet. I’ve got a couple more months of this to go… where was all this hot air when I was huddled in front of my heater five months ago? You definitely get the extremes when it comes to weather here in Japan.
I did another half day at work today. In the morning I went over and talked to Mr. Hayashi. I told him that something had come up on Sunday night and I wouldn’t be able to join him at Graciani’s. To him I’m passing up a free dinner with a beautiful woman – what am I, crazy? Little does he know that I’m having a free dinner with another beautiful woman anyway. Sometimes things get a little weird around here.
After I left school I ran some errands at the local grocery and bought a huge lunch – sushi, inari (little pockets of fried sweetened tofu filled with sushi rice), two mini-sandwiches, and a roll filled with a cocktail weiner and some catsup. It was a feast for me and I really enjoyed my lunch. To make up for it I just had rice and a hard-boiled egg for dinner. Actually, it was garlic chili rice – I had some sauce leftover from something else and it worked out great.
I memorized more vocabulary tonight – nothing too exciting. The verb of the day is 移る (utsuru) which means “to move”, as in moving from one house to another.
Tomorrow is a mini-sports day at school. There are no classes, but apparently the students are going to go out there and work up a sweat. I’ll bet at least five of them pass out by the end of the day. I’ve also got my Japanese class in Sannomiya. Afterwards I might hit the ramen place again and take advantage of the all-you-can-eat kimchee. Oh, yeah.
