Saturday was a nice easy weekend day, and I stayed busy doing laundry, cleaning, and taking a long walk around town to enjoy the beautiful weather. Kuniko had to work Saturday, but she has Sunday off (finally a day off!) and she can relax then.
While walking around I walked past a Zelda video game for the Nintendo DS, and it was reasonably priced so I picked it up. Of course the whole game is in Japanese, but as it turns out it is a really fun way to study. As I read along there comes a time when an unfamiliar kanji comes up, and when this happens you just tap the kanji and the correct reading appears. I learned a lot already (I didn’t know 海賊 – pirate), and I learned that I have been reading some words wrong all this time. Anyway, it’s a fun game and usually play it with my dictionary sitting right next to me.
Saturday night Kuniko got home on the late side, so we had some pizza (half Korean and half bacon and mushroom, with little sausages rolled into the crust) and beer and celebrated the end of her 21 day work week.
Tomorrow she’ll be relaxing but I won’t – I have a conference in Osaka to attend. The weather is also supposed to turn stormy, so I’m not looking forward to leaving my exhausted wife behind to brave rainy weather and the unknowns of Tenouji station.
