I slept in this morning after staying up so late the night before. Mostly I spent the day cleaning house and doing a little studying. <\/p>\n
In the afternoon I packed a backpack and headed into Osaka to meet up with Kuniko. I had originally planned on stopping in to buy a new textbook in Umeda, and then going on to Kuniko’s house. As it turns out, thanks to the wonder of mobile phone technology, we met up in Umeda and we went shopping together. <\/p>\n
Shopping at the big bookstore in Umeda is always interesting, especially around the English book section. There’s always lots of foreigners walking around, and everyone is really friendly. I out-maneuver a few people to get the textbook I wanted. There were two I was looking for, but they only had the one. I took a quick glance through it and it looks manageable, but not too easy. <\/p>\n
From there we went back to Kuniko’s place on the JR line, and you could barely hear us talking over the growl of our stomachs. We ordered in a pizza, and I unwrapped the insulation from the two big cans of beer that I brought. The pizza was really interesting – four different types of pizza on one. There was a spicy section with jalapenos, an egg section with cheese, egg and broccoli, a standard pizza section, and then an Italian section with lots of spices and good Parmesan cheese. Very nice.<\/p>\n
We’re leaning towards seeing a movie tomorrow, but it depends on when we wake up. It’ll be nice to sleep in!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
