Sunday we went back over to Kuniko’s parents’ for dinner and to get a recap of the big lunch event. Tomoko’s boyfriend (or should I say fiance?) Yamaoko-san, was there. He looked exhausted and maybe a little drunk from the experience and the all the beer. He’s a really nice guy, once he relaxes a little bit. I talked a little bit with him, but it turned out to be kind of one-sided so I let him off the hook.<\/p>\n
As for the big lunch I guess it went pretty well. Everyone seemed cool with how things went, and there were no embarrassing moments that I heard about. Mission accomplished! <\/p>\n
Kuniko’s mom went shopping and brought back lots of food. I helped by cooking some mini-steaks that she had bought, and Kuniko did lots of organizing and preparing in the kitchen. <\/p>\n
I opened up a can of beer, and we got Yamaoka-san to drink some, too. It was nice to gather around the table full of food and have what felt like a big family dinner. We ate big (Kuniko and I didn’t have a big lunch, so we were a little hungrier than the rest. <\/p>\n
It was a nice night – we left early to give Tomoko and Yamaoka-san a chance to get an early start driving home. On our way home we stopped at Ito Yokado so Kuniko could do some shopping for her homeroom class. I went over and visited Yasu working in the music store, and then we headed home from there. It was a nice weekend, but tomorrow is back to work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
