Tonight after work I’m going out drinking with a different group of ex-students than the usual bunch. It should be fun to see their chemistry – every group has a different one. Add in a predominantly English-speaking teacher and we’ll see what happens. Usually everybody wants to speak Japanese at first, and then slowly the English comes out. I’m looking forward to the party, though.
Tomorrow I’ll catch a beer on the way home with another OTC teacher that I haven’t seen in a while, and then Friday I’ll have a day off from parties before the big holiday starts. My holiday calendar is also starting to fill out a little bit – Friday I’ll spend the day in Osaka and Thursday Kuniko and I will go over to Kakogawa to help out around the rice paddy with Kuniko’s folks.
So, lots of the horizon – looking forward to the Golden Week holidays!
