Iro Iro na Koto
Ototoi ha tanoshikatta ne! I had dinner and nice chats with Hideki and Kaorun. They came to pick me up at Suita station and then went to Denny�fs for dinner. It�fs an American style restaurant near my home, quite big and not noisy. Afterwards, they sent me home and asked me to stay one night at their home in my holiday. This end of March, I will go with them for hanami (sakura blossom- viewing) where people enjoy outdoor parties under the sakura/cherry blossoms in early April (but this year will start earlier, around end of March). They sit on the mats under the sakura trees, eating, drinking, and singing cheerfully and viewing the blossoms.
Talked, talked and talked. Later I asked them why Japanese people do not use credit cards. Hideki said that they don�ft need one and actually, it gives kinda negative impression. Why? It tells that you don�ft have money, that�fs why you use credit cards. Hmm, sounds reasonable.
Many people still think that marrying to a Japanese man would mean you give the whole of you and devote to your husband. You become kind of servant to the husband, give him this service, and that service. However, according to Hideki and Kaorun, this kind of thing did happen years before, nowadays, people do not behave like this anymore. Both husband and wife have almost the same position at home.
Last Friday was the last day of one of my Korean�fs classmates. This April, he will go into college. So each of us wrote down in a piece of paper about him. Well, I remember I hardly talked with him (perhaps not even once) in the beginning of this class. At that time, I could hardly make any communication in Japanese while he�fs already good in it. Just in the last few months, he sat behind me and we talked a lot (these times I could make daily chats with him). It�fs actually a bit sad seeing him leave; afterall he is fun to be friends with.
Meanwhile, Sakoto has returned to Osaka. She spent 2.5 months in China just because she said it�fs cheaper to live there then here. Needless to say, it�fs true. When I was still in China, Masa once told me that he prefered to keep staying in China and learn Chinese than going back to Japan because it costs much more.
So, she gave me a call and this Monday I will have lunch with her. She also already asked me to go to Kyoto for hanami. Sure, definitely I will go again. I like Kyoto. We will go after I return from Tokyo and Yokohama.
At least now, I know what to do on my holiday!
Last night, Henry and me tried to find a yakiniku restaurant in Yamada, but it was dark and late already (10pm cause we went to swimming before that), so we couldn�ft find the place. Hungry and tired, later we found a car noodles and ate wuntun ramen. It tasted very delicious, and reminded me of those noodles in Hong Kong. Nyam nyam, still remember the taste...^. ^
Ken has come back today; we went to pick him up. I am happy he is back already and he really enjoyed his days in Peking. Well, I miss his cookings. Hah!
