Last Saturday night we had a great night over at the Yamaji’s place. They had invited us over along with the Fukumi’s for dinner and drinks for the holidays. Their kids were both there, and during the evening their daughter told us she had set a wedding date with her fiance, for October 21st, 2012 in Tokyo. They invited us to attend, so we’ll head out to Tokyo for the wedding late next year. Should be fun!<\/p>\n
For dinner they served roasted chicken – and it was really good. I think I could have eaten an entire one myself. We spent a nice evening over there – we didn’t end up leaving until after midnight, and I think everyone was pretty drunk. <\/p>\n
Yesterday we walked off our hangovers, spending a couple hours walking along the coast south towards Akashi. The weather this weekend was really nice, too. I’m glad that we could take advantage of it and get some outdoor time. <\/p>\n
I was looking at the calendar and I realized that after this week I’ll have 17 days off in a row. We’ll fill that time with a trip, and maybe some family activities around here, but it still seems amazing. Most Japanese workers rarely see seven days off in a row. I think I should keep the length of my holiday under my hat at work. At least for the time being. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
