I’m tired out from an evening on the town with Kuniko. We met up after school in Kobe – she was busy taking one of her students to get her hair dyed (back to black). I got out of work a little earlier and we met up at the bookstore. After picking out a few selections we headed to a little ramen place we both like near the motomachi station, and settled down in front of a huge bowl of noodles.<\/p>\n
I had ordered the cha-shuu ramen, and the rim of the ramen bowl was draped with roasted pork – you just grab a piece and dip it in the noodles and broth whenever you like. As if that wasn’t enough we split an order of fried rice and a plate of gyoza. Wow.<\/p>\n
After that we walked around a little bit and ended up having a couple of cookies and some coffee at Starbucks, and then finally we caught the shinkaisoku train (running 8 minutes late) back home. I’m whipped.<\/p>\n
Work is going well – everyone there is sick but me, it seems. I’m almost at 100% now, as might be indicated by my diet. I was spared visits from the history teacher today – he was on a business trip. <\/p>\n
I spent some time in the afternoon fielding questions from a group of girl first year students who wanted to know what “fuck you” meant. Dangerous territory there, but I think I explained it quite well. I don’t think they’ll be using those words in public in the future. <\/p>\n
I’m off to bed – tomorrow is a busy day with students performing commercials, and some students coming over in the evening. They are really into the conversations and want to come twice a month, so we’ll be seeing a lot more them around the house.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
