At work my students seem to be relatively energetic, but a lot of them have some business trips up to and including next week’s obon holidays. Bad luck for them – some are traveling to America where there are no obon holidays, so there’s not much they can do about it. Hopefully they can catch up on those holidays some other time.
I am not one to miss a holiday, however, and we continue to prepare for our trip bit by bit at home. We picked up a few goodies for Vishnu and his family (including coffee flavored chewing gum) – hopefully they’ll get a kick out of them. The trick will be to make sure they survive the trip until we get to Bangalore.
Tonight after her seminar Kuniko is meeting with some of the other people involved with their next international student to have a quick meeting and a party. That means I’m on my own for dinner tonight. I’m not sure what I’m doing, but leftover salad doesn’t look so good to me right now…
