Note:
This is a series of journal entries from my two years living in Himeji,
Japan (1988-1990). I'm archiving them electronically through my blog.

Today I went shopping and found a rug for my office. It's neat & was on sale, but I fear it's too small...oh well, it'll work all right. I bought a new watch band and had a dickens of a time getting the old one off & the new one on. I mailed "A Day in the Life..." to Steph, the mask to Robin, and bought paper balloons for mom to give to her kids.
I bought an Old El Paso taco pack, and made honest to God Mexican tacos for dinner- yum. I also found stuffed tortellini- yay.
After dinner dome woman came to my door. I had to call Karl (there's that dependence again) & he & I finally got figured out that she wanted to take English lessons. She graduated from Hinomoto 9 years ago, & she saw me walk by & followed me to see where I lived when she picked up her kids at the kindergarten next door. I'm not sure if I'll take her a student, but probably will---it's more shopping money! She seems very nice.
I met Michiyo at 7:20 to go to Chinatsu's taiko (drum) concert. It was really good, and after their concert, they pulled the audience up to play too. What fun. Michiyo & I followed each other on all the different drums. Chinatsu took picture of me playing-ugh!
Chinatsu & her mom brought me home, and now I'm planning tomorrow's lessons. This evening I've felt a little homesick and lonely in realizing that I haven't seem my family for 2 months now...
