Saturday night Kuniko and I went over to visit Kuniko’s folks. We wanted to deliver some flowers in advance of Mother’s Day on Sunday. We’re going to be a little busy on Sunday, so we wanted to say hello. They were a little surprised that we were there – Kuniko had left a message but they didn’t get it.<\/p>\n
We had some coffee and gave them flowers and chatted for a while. Kuniko and I were both tired, so we headed back home early. <\/p>\n
This morning we slept in, and I think we might have slept right through the community clean up hour. Usually it is on Saturday, but because of the rain they must have postponed it until today. Oops. <\/p>\n
In the morning I got a phone call from a guy that wants to hire me to work at his brand new conversation school that is opening in Kobe. I applied for the job a while back, but the more I find out about it, the more I get nervous. The guy was nice to talk to, though, and I felt a little better about the situation after talking with him. If they hire me I will be the most experienced teacher there – that’s a scary thought. The guy mentioned that one of the reasons he is moving back to Japan (he’s a Japanese American) is that a fortune teller in Takasago told him that it was the right thing to do. Red flag!<\/p>\n
We’re going to head into Akashi to look at a few places to live soon, and then in the evening Kuniko is going to a second party for a friend’s wedding. I’ll be flying solo tonight and I’m seriously considering a big bowl of ramen for dinner….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
