Today was dedicated mainly to studying. I studied some new kanji, as well as some new grammar. I actually spent about four hours straight studying – it kept me busy. <\/p>\n

While drinking the Guinness, I started up the grill with the new firestarter, and it worked great with almost no smoke. My neighbors will be happy with that development. I grilled up some chicken with the Jamaican rub that Nancy and Lynn had sent me a while back. I also grilled up some pineapple and had some rice with black pepper. The meal was great – just what I needed to wrap up a hard day of studying. <\/p>\n

I called Antoine and talked to him for almost an hour – we compared experiences over the last couple of weeks and made plans to try and get together next weekend. I also called Kuniko and chatted with her for a while. She told me all about her dinner – the Japanese version of meat and potatoes. Afterwards I went down to the yakitori, which was packed! I had a couple of beers and some snacks and talked with the master while he tried to keep up with everyone’s order.<\/p>\n
