Loving Japan

Woke up at 7:45am to say goodbye to Koby. Today at the breakfast table, he stretched and said "another good day of Japanese school", I am getting the feeling that he really likes it here. I mentioned last night "So are you ready to go back to Texas, in which he quickly responded NO".

I got the beds put up, and the clothes that had dried folded, nothing much else to do until lunch, maybe Evan and me will go for a walk in a little while. We found out that the Internet adapter that someone had gave us was too old and we would have to buy a newer model, I think they cost around $100.. Yikes! But if we want Internet access, then we have to get it.

Evan is watching kids shows on TV. Yasuko came home at lunch today and stayed home the rest of the day. Koby's remaining classes didn't require her to be there. After school Koby went to Ian's house (the boy who speaks English real well) he lives about a mile away and the boys walked there by themselves, It's nice to live in the country.

Yasuko, Evan and myself walked to the dairy to get some more milk, but the main guy was not there, so we wasn't able to get some. On the way back we were stopped by a neighbor who was going to the grocery store and asked if she could get anything for us, Yep Milk.

We all walked to Ian's house to get Koby and we talked with his grandma for awhile, while the boys tried to throw snowballs over the power lines. After arriving home, our neighbor brought us the milk and had also bought the boys some marshmallows.

For dinner we had fried shrimp, a type of green onion/garlic the neighbors gave us which is called "Nira", the potatoes we were given, and rice.
