It was a long, relaxing weekend. Friday night kicked it off with dinner at our favorite Chinese restaurant with Yoshi and his family. <\/p>\n
It was their first time at Mikaen, and I think they liked it. We ordered all kinds of food – especially the spicy stuff. It was good to see Yoshi’s son Akira. He is getting pretty tall and he still eats a lot. We spent most of our time talking about our recent travels. Yoshi had gone to France and England on a solo journey, and Mamiko had gone back to Taiwan to take in the entertainment culture there. We are considering a short trip to Taiwan in the future, so we’ll be sure to ask her for advice. <\/p>\n
The rest of the weekend was pretty quiet. We spent time watching movies, organizing our pantry (which is a big job), doing laundry, hiking to Akashi, and we even squeezed in a trip to Swaad for yummy Indian food. <\/p>\n
This week should be odd. It’s only a four day work week, and I have an unusual schedule with some classes and some holes. I need to concentrate on wrapping up the previous term, and starting to plan the next term. This week I’ll hold an orientation for new one-on-one students, and their course will start next week. I’m looking forward to meeting my new students!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
