Monday was a pretty smooth day, at work and at home. At work I had a regular schedule, and I spent my planning time working on basic mid-term plans for all my students. Before I knew it it was time to go home, and I hustled out the door and caught a train back. On the way home I finished reading a great book, called “The Lies of Locke Lamorra” by Scott Lynch. Great fantasy fiction… I can’t wait to try the next book in the series.
We were looking for a restaurant to hit this Friday, since we both have two days off this weekend, and it is going to be a pretty busy week. By chance I stumbled on a news article in the US saying that Tony Roma’s is opening a new restaurant in Japan, and it was without much hope that I clicked on the link to see where the restaurant was opening. I was shocked to find out that it opened in Kobe four days ago. I got right on the phone and booked a table for us on Friday.
I haven’t actually been to a Tony Roma’s in any country, but I know they do ribs, and it is pretty hard to get my hands on good ribs here in Japan. Friday will be an interesting experience.
We’ve also got plans to hit Costco tomorrow, since we partied pretty hard and ran out of supplies. Food in, money out!
The last project that we’re working on this week is getting a handle on where to go this Christmas. It’ll be somewhere warm, but so far that’s all we got. Right now the top 3 ideas are the Philippines, Malaysia and Vietnam – some stretch of white sand is waiting for us somewhere.
