I went to Don quijote today. bought alot of thai curry. Is thai curry not one of the greatest foods in the world? tasty, spicy, sweet, hint of lemon grass, coconut milk.... heaven. Even though I'm still in the country for another several months, i feel that one of the biggest things i'm going to miss is the food. Did i mention how a few weeks back i ate raw jellyfish, raw sea snail and hippo? ok, there was no hippo thank god, but i wouldnt put it past the japanese. get this.... recently, due to unknown causes, there has been a huge influx of giant jellyfish on the coast. they have been a disacter for fishermen here, killing schools of tuna and salmon. they get caught in the nets and sting the hell out of the fishermen. so hat are the japanese doing? eating them. yum!
I've lost some weight here... enough to punch two new holes in my belt. now if i cut out maybe one beer a week, how much more could i lose? hmmm.... don't worry. i'll be gorging myself in a week and a half on good old home cooked food.
i leave in a week! rock! so close yet so far away. i have no more days off until then so it could suck.
I got my mid-contract review today. turns out I'm awesome. the staff loves me. the students love me. and i have several kids that request only my lessons. NOVA fears my departure. If i was smart and knew more about japanese business practices, i would quit and start my own kids school. heck, kiyoe has a degree in economics. hmmmm......
i like coffee.
monday night it columbo night. i just saw donald pleasance get outsmarted by the one-eyed chronic cigar smoker in the raincoat. AWESOME!
