This week Kuniko has a lot of extra time off during the afternoons while her students work on tests. For teachers the testing times are the actually the easier times – once their students take their tests it is just a matter of marking. Last night Kuniko finished marking, so she’ll have an easier time of it before her trip.
Last night we had some free time so we went off to do a bit of shopping at Vivre, bumping into Mr. Tojo along the way. He was getting ready to go to Jonetsu Horumon – a restaurant near our neighborhood that specializes in selling pieces of meat that are considered trash in the USA. Intestine, cheek, the base of the tongue – all this kind of stuff is grilled like yakiniku. Kuniko and I have consistently held the position that if we’re going to go out to eat meat, we can spend a little extra and eat the real stuff. Later Mr. Tojo sent me a mail saying that the restaurant was indeed not worth a visit. At least the beer was cheap.
