First job today was to set up my work area for the next 5 weeks.\u00a0 Kaoru had bought me a desk and chair, so they needed assembling.\u00a0 There was also a bit of re-arranging of furniture in her room for it to fit.\u00a0 After an hour or so, everything was together and set up, short of a power board for it all to run off.\u00a0 So we went in to Fugisawa for lunch (Mos Burger) and shopping.<\/p>\n
As well as the power board, we went in to the kids department and bought a childrens (ages 3-5) puzzle, focused at teaching Hiragana – the first alphabet(??) I was to learn for reading Japanese.\u00a0 It seemed strange buying myself something from an infants department (sure, I’ve bought myself *toys* before, but not that young!).<\/p>\n
On the way home, we went shopping for dinner.\u00a0 Back at the apartment I got everything connected, and was live!\u00a0 Kaoru prepared Temaki Sushi for dinner – it’s basically “do it yourself” sushi, so all the food is presented in front of you, you pick up some seaweed, add rice, add food, roll, dip in soy sauce, eat, *and repeat*, *and repeat*, *and repeat*…..\u00a0 During this, Mum and Dad signed in to Skype, so we had a chat to them while enjoying dinner.<\/p>\n
I unwrapped my “toy”, and we started work on me learning the Hiragana.\u00a0 It’s going to be a long haul….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
