A busy day…<\/p>\n

Today started with me catching the train from Fujisawa to Shinagawa.\u00a0 I met Mikiko there, and together we went to Kashiwa station.\u00a0 We were supposed to catch a local train 1 stop (to Minami-Kashiwa), but were so busy talking we ended up on an express train!\u00a0 So after 5 minutes or so, it stopped, we got off, and then caught a local train for 15 minutes back to Minami-Kashiwa.\u00a0 Total cost was ~1200 yen ($15?) so had been an expencive morning of travelling!<\/p>\n

Dai-san picked us up from there and we got to Kashiwa stadium around 12:00 (half an hour late).\u00a0 I got the updates applied to their computers, gave them a new (second) phone, and walked them through the subtle changes that had occured.\u00a0 We got away about 2.00, and drove to Nishifunabashi.\u00a0 We went a number of “short cuts” – down streets that really should have been one way, but weren’t.\u00a0 Dai-san seemed to know a number of these back roads, and we got to Nishifunabashi stadium about 3.00 (again, half an hour late).<\/p>\n

Once I had installed the updates there, I went through them with Miyakawa-san.\u00a0 I also gave them 3 replacement phones – these ones were in Japanese, so have eliminated one of their arguments for not using Datascore (the phone I had left them with last time didn’t support Japanese characters).\u00a0 We got away about 6.00.\u00a0 As we were all pretty hungry (no lunch as the day had been so busy), we went to a nearby restaurant and had some sushi.\u00a0 We left about 6.45.<\/p>\n

Dai-san went home, and Mikiko and I caught the train to Shinjuku, where we were meeting Occhi-san and a group of his friends for dinner and drinks.\u00a0 We turned up about 8.00 (an hour late), but it took us a while to find the actual place, so it was 8.20 by the time we got there.\u00a0 They had arranged 4,000 yen (about $50) for meal and “all you can drink”.\u00a0 But after the last time Occhi and I went out together, he ended up in Hospital and I spent the next day in bed with a bad hangover.\u00a0 So we were more respectable tonight!\u00a0 Kaoru didn’t get away from work until late, as it was the end of the month, but arrived around 9.30.<\/p>\n

As usual, it was a very enjoyable evening out with Occhi.\u00a0 He brought along the goal keeper for his team, who is the one non-blind player.\u00a0 He also has been studying English so spoke quite well.\u00a0 There was also a “Sports Management” student there (which, given my experiences, I wonder what the Japanese teach people with regards to “Sports Management”!), and one of the girls we had met in the past.<\/p>\n

The trip back to Fujisawa was a long one.\u00a0 We had to go to Shinagawa and change trains.\u00a0 We got back to Kaoru’s apartment around 1.00am, both very tired.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
