It was a long, relaxing weekend. Friday night kicked it off with dinner at our favorite Chinese restaurant with Yoshi and his family.
It was their first time at Mikaen, and I think they liked it. We ordered all kinds of food – especially the spicy stuff. It was good to see Yoshi’s son Akira. He is getting pretty tall and he still eats a lot. We spent most of our time talking about our recent travels. Yoshi had gone to France and England on a solo journey, and Mamiko had gone back to Taiwan to take in the entertainment culture there. We are considering a short trip to Taiwan in the future, so we’ll be sure to ask her for advice.
The rest of the weekend was pretty quiet. We spent time watching movies, organizing our pantry (which is a big job), doing laundry, hiking to Akashi, and we even squeezed in a trip to Swaad for yummy Indian food.
This week should be odd. It’s only a four day work week, and I have an unusual schedule with some classes and some holes. I need to concentrate on wrapping up the previous term, and starting to plan the next term. This week I’ll hold an orientation for new one-on-one students, and their course will start next week. I’m looking forward to meeting my new students!
