Nearing The End

Sunday Kuniko went off to work early, and I managed to squeeze in a few hours of extra sleep. Afterwards I bummed around the house during the day and then went into Kobe to meet Kuniko after her work ended. I took the opportunity to do a little bit of shopping at the import food store, as well as a drop-in at the bookstore to look for some practice exams for the upcoming Japanese test.

Kuniko had taken a bunch of leftover food that nobody wanted at her school – some sandwiches, and a giant bag of yakisoba. I threw them in my backpack, and from there we went to catch dinner at Wendy’s. There are a couple of Wendy’s in Kobe, and I haven’t eaten there in years, so it was fun to go check it out. They have chili there – I had totally forgotten about chili cheese fries. Kuniko bought me dinner and I had a work down the gastronomical version of memory lane.

Finally we headed over to the wedding place, and made lots of important, and expensive decisions. It took a long time before we were out of there – several hours of sitting in the same place. I’m really looking forward to not going back there after the wedding is over.

By the time we left there we were hungry all over again, so we ate the hijacked sandwiches while we walked back. It is a little rude in Japan to eat and walk, but we were both hungry so we did it anyway. They hit the spot.

We got back to Futami exhausted, and crashed right into bed. This week is going to be a monster week of classes and preparations. I’ve got a tough schedule at school, and home is looking busy, too.
