Not much going on in Japan-land. Kuniko and I have been working through a series of long weekends and enjoying more time to relax together. Kuniko’s school has been doing a couple of events lately, and exams are coming up, so it is the calm before the storm for her.
School has been going smoothly for me. We are going to have a Halloween party sponsored by Nozaki sensei at the end of the month, and it sounds like it will be a big one. Luckily I won’t be the only one there leading 100+ kids – I think Brenda (my successor at Takanan) will be coming and bringing some friends to help out.
I’ve been gradually making reservations and plans for Vietnam at the end of the year. There are some great deals on hotels, and we’re hoping to use the money we save on hotels for most of the trip for a couple of nights at a nicer hotel at the end of the trip. I’m not sure which one we’ll choose – there are a lot of really nice hotels in Hanoi. Staying at the Hanoi Hilton has some appeal strictly for the name, but there are probably better hotels out there.
More later…
