I spent today pushing the hormones of teenage girls to the breaking point – I had three lessons on Valentine’s Day. I got asked out twice and four girls asked me if I had a girlfriend. No boys asked me this question, however.
I knew this idea was risky, but I just jumped into the fire and went with it. The giggle meter almost broke today with all the laughter. Still, it’s a better reaction than indifference, so I’m happy with it.
After work I cooked up some Cajun shrimp and then had Yasu over for beers. I helped him with some English, and we talked about CD’s. He gave me a pretty good list of temples to visit in Kyoto. I’ve been thinking that it would be fun to do a solo trip to Kyoto sometime soon. It would be a good winter trip. Yasu provided me with locations in kanji and hiragana, and I was surprised to see that I could read several of the kanji characters.
We had a couple of Kirins and talked about his upcoming trip to Cambodia and Thailand. He’s braving the “bird flu” that everyone is worried about over here. I don’t think it will be a problem – and it may even lower prices even more.
I’m off to bed – tomorrow is two more Valentine’s lessons, so I’ve got to be mentally prepared for another love fest.
