The Japanese word “kengakusuru” （見å¦ã™ã‚‹ï¼‰means to go somewhere for study. This weekend I went to Osaka initially just to meet up with Kuniko, but I ended up staying through Sunday to do some studying while Kuniko went to a seminar.
I got in on Saturday evening, and Kuniko had cooked up a seriously delicious meal. It was a tofu dish with a spicy sauce, and along with a side of rice it turned out delicious.
Kuniko asked me if I wanted to join her and her coworkers for a seminar for teaching English to junior high and high school students. The bad news was that it was all in Japanese. Another bad point was that I had only brought one set of clothes, scrubby ones. Instead I stayed at her place and hit the books hard while she was gone.
Her place was a good place to study. It was really quiet, pretty warm even without the heater on, and plenty of space to spread out and read.
Once she got home we went out for Indian food at our favorite Indian restaurant – their specialty is cheese and garlic nan bread. They recognized us there and the server was really nice. I think it was a slow night there, so it was good to send some money their way. In the end, Kuniko insisted on buying dinner.
We hit the convenience store for some dessert, and then went up and went to sleep. Tomorrow is a workday for Kuniko, so we got to bed early.
