Just as I was wrapping up dinner, the doorbell rang and a delivery guy was standing there with a large box. It was a big birthday package from Sara. She had sent tons of stuff – things that are hard or impossible to find here in Japan. It was amazing what she fix in there – a couple of bottles of hot sauce, three big chunks of cheese, a bunch of fresh peppers (Jalapenos, Anaheims, and Habaneros), chips, a DVD, candy, corn nuts, and the list goes on. It was amazing. <\/p>\n

As everything was unpacked and laying all over the place, Yasu called from next door. He is the guy that helped when Andy went to the hospital<\/a>. Melanie was at their place, and they invited me over, since she was over there cooking some homemade curry. I had just eaten, but I went over anyway to visit a little bit – Yasu’s mom has kind of adopted us. We sat around and drank beer and ate curry, although I only had a little bit. There was another neighbor there, an English teacher from a nearby school, and so we talked to her a little bit. She seemed very nice, but maybe a little shy. <\/p>\n

Anyway, afterwards they brought out some delicious cakes, and I left there on a sugar high. Melanie dropped by to pick up Count Of Monte Cristo, since I had just finished it, and almost passed out from exhaustion at my kitchen table. I’m hoping to stay up a little later tonight doing some work that I’ve been putting off, since I have no classes tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
