This morning I called my folks to catch up with them in the morning, and then fixed myself a big bowl of curry and rice and watched Survivor. The curry here is ranked on a heat scale of one to five, usually. I found one that was ranked a ten once, but now I’ve found a place that sells a twenty ranking – which is more like it. While I watched the show I ran laundry in the background, and finally around noon I got organized and went out to do some shopping. <\/p>\n

My first stop was grocery shopping in the newly remodeled local grocery. The store looks much better, and now it’s like a tiny supermarket rather than a tiny fruit stand with other things. Everybody else in town had the same idea, so it was packed. People were throwing elbows and cutting in front of other people – it was cutthroat out there.<\/p>\n

I got a bunch of good groceries, and then took them home and stocked the fridge. Instead of going all the way to Kobe, I decided to go the other way to Himeji. It is only a few stops and is about 40 yen cheaper to get there on the train. <\/p>\n

In Himeji I took some pictures of the castle, because I always seem to do that when I’m there. I found some good stuff when shopping, and I finally came back home around three o’ clock. <\/p>\n

Tomorrow is back to the grind. On Friday is our year end party for school. Not many of my compadres are going to be there – Mr. Hayashi is skipping it because of a conflict, and Miss Kageyama wasn’t invited because she is a part time teacher. Mr. Kimura should be there, and also Mr. Komuri. I’m not sure what to expect. It ought to be fun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
