Today was a holiday for me, and so I slept in this morning, and then in the afternoon went into Kobe to meet up with Kuniko after her teachers exam interview. She seemed pretty positive about it, which is good. Its a two-part exam – the next part will happen next week… a written exam this time.
We went over to a pasta place that Kuniko turned me onto a while back. I had a pizza, and Kuniko had a big plate of pasta. Kuniko found a small piece of plastic in her pasta – that came as a surprise. I pointed it out to our waitress, and she apologized. I put the plastic into her hand, and I could tell she was a little disgusted with having to handle it, but imagine how we felt – it was in our food.
Despite the plastic everything was delicious, and after we settled up I did a little bit of shopping at Uniqlo for some new T-shirts. Kuniko got a top at a little shop near the station, and then with our bellies full and a shopping bag in hand, we got on the train and headed back.
When I got home I just relaxed during the evening, organizing my flashcards on my PDA, and listening to music. It’s still plenty hot and humid around here, and so my evenings involve a lot of sweat, even when I’m just sitting there. I battled that a little by getting some shaved ice, but I’ve got to start making it myself soon.
Tomorrow I’m going back to school. I don’t have any classes, so I’ll just hang out and see what happens.
