Today is Friday, it is 7:58 am, and I’m relaxing at home. This past week has been a holiday week for me, and I think I’ve used my time wisely.
Firstly, this past week has been brutally hot. The rainy season is long gone and so now we get the all the humidity with none of the clouds, and each day I’ve tried to go out only in the early mornings. Still, it is over 30 degrees even at 7 am, and the humidity is right near 90%. That means a wet T-shirt after about five minutes of walking around.
Mainly I’ve been doing tasks and things that I have been meaning to do for a long time but had no chance. Scanning photos, organizing the home server, preparing for our trip, reading books and watching movies, cooking interesting meals, and playing video games. It has been great!
Today I’ll go into Kobe to buy some currency and some other items for the upcoming trip, and I’m sure it’ll be very hot there, too. Luckily most people will be at work so the crowds should be reasonable. I’ll have to figure out what to get for lunch…
Tomorrow Kuniko has the day off, and then she’ll go to work on Sunday. Then I’ll just have to do one week of classes and we’re off. We’re traveling through China this time, and I’ve heard that there are a lot of delays these days, so hopefully it won’t affect our schedule too much. We’ve built in a short buffer, just in case, but who knows? Maybe a hotel in Beijing or Shanghai is in our future?
