Kuniko was working &#8211; walking with her coworkers on a hiking course that students from her school will explore next month. I was in Kobe trying to pick up some imported groceries that are a little hard to find around Okubo &#8211; cranberry sauce, blue cheese dressing, yellow mung dahl, paneer, and Chinese chili peppers in oil.  Luckily all of that could be found in Kobe, but there were a lot of stops to make.<\/p>\n<p>We met up in the afternoon in Sannomiya after Kuniko&#8217;s hike, and then did some errands before heading back in Kuniko&#8217;s car parked at her school.  <\/p>\n<p>To celebrate the Chinese new year we had dim sum at home for dinner, and then enjoyed a viewing of the original Star Wars.  Kuniko got me the box set for Valentine&#8217;s Day.<\/p>\n<p> Sunday we went over to visit Kuniko&#8217;s folks and we got caught up with them.  They had lots of vegetables, chocolates, and other sweets to bring back home, so we are set for a while.  <\/p>\n<p>On Sunday we also bought plane tickets and a reserved a hotel for our summer trip.  We&#8217;ll be spending a week in Moscow in the middle of August, so we had better start the visa process now.  I&#8217;ve heard that it can be a complex process.<\/p>\n<p>This week we have a dinner out at the end of the week at Anonyme, one of our favorites in Kobe.  I may have a drink with some coworkers after work on Wednesday, so I&#8217;ll have to ride the exercise bike extra hard to fight the calorie battle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last weekend we had a lot of chances to get some exercise.
