Today Kuniko left early to pick up her car, and meet a friend for an early lunch. I walked her to the Tsuchiyama station, and on the way back I took a peek at the Sports Day that was going on at the local junior high school. The lady out front meeting cars was wearing a T-shirt that said “DRUG STORE BODY”.
Back home I relaxed and did some studying until around 3:30, when Kuniko came to pick me up. We went to meet Tamura sensei and Yuri so that we could go bowling.
I’m terrible at bowling, but we still had a great time. Yuri and Tamura sensei seem to feed off each other in a way that makes the energy level jump. Yuri bowled the best game of her life – she took a picture of the screen to capture the moment.
Bowling is expensive in Japan – we had to pay about $20 each for two games. They gave us some freebies, but still, a little pricey. It’s not going to be my daily hobby.
After bowling we played around in the arcades – they had lots of strange games. One game was about walking a dog. You could choose the dog, and then walk it around the neighborhood. That’s it. Strange.
Next door we had dinner at a Korean restaurant. The food was great – Kuniko ordered everything and we all chowed down. I’m getting to be a big fan of Korean food. Way back when I lived in San Jose I had a bad Korean food experience, but now I’m definitely a huge fan. I’m going to try to cook some of this stuff in the future. I’m not sure if I can get the spices right, but I’ll give it a shot.
Kuniko dropped me off at my place afterwards, and I went to bed soon after. It was a good Saturday – tomorrow is free for me so I’ll see what adventures I can drum up.
