Tonight after work Kuniko is going to a concert to see this guy, so I’m on my own after work today. I’m thinking about dropping by the Hankyu department store in Kobe to see an exhibition of model trains that one of my students is helping with, but other than that it should be a pretty normal night.
Last night while eating dinner Kuniko asked if it was OK to invite her coworkers here for some BBQ next weekend, so it looks like we’re starting to get social again. I’m looking forward to it – any excuse to grill is fine with me. I think we’re going to make kabobs. Anybody know any good sauces or marinades?
Yesterday one of my students returned from his holiday in Australia. I had helped a little bit with planning some events for him while he was there, and so he brought back some chocolates for me to thank me. He’s big into wine, so I steered him to a wine tasting event that was being held in Sydney while he was there, and he said that although it was his first wine tasting, it went well. He bought a bottle of Tomfoolery Artful Dodger 2008 Shiraz as a souvenir. He was surprised at the difference of quality between Australian wines that you can get here in Japan and the ones available locally in Sydney. ãã‚Œã¯ãã†ã 。
Off to work in the heat!
