We had a pretty nice weekend. Friday night we met Antoine and Miwako in Kobe for Mexican food. They had three big items of news to share with us:
#1 – Antoine became an uncle recently.
#2 – Antoine bought a car. Apparently it is a rare car, and he paid big bucks to get it. The bad news is that he doesn’t have a license yet so he won’t be able to drive it anytime soon.
#3 – Antoine and Miwako are moving in together. They’ll be living in a new place in Nishinomiya. Miwako got the OK from her parents and they’ll give it a try. This will add a new dimension to their already fiery relationship.
The Mexican food really hit the spot for some reason. The guy who owns the place is not so friendly, but the food is definitely the best Mexican I’ve had in Japan. We went to a dark and crowded yakitori afterwards for some cocktails, and then headed back.
Saturday was a pretty light day – I walked around town trying to burn some calories, and Kuniko had to work most of the day. Sunday Kuniko had the day off, so we spent the day cleaning house and taking it easy. In the evening we went to Ito Yokado to do some shopping, and then came home and hit the sack pretty soon afterwards.
This week is a little busier than normal – I’ve got night classes Monday through Wednesday, but after that, things should get back to normal.
