Dinner with friends

I went to dinner with some friends a few days ago. It was so nice. We had been trying to get together for a while, but nothing ever seemed to work for all of us. And then finally one day it did. It was so fun, I had such a good time talking with them. It was so comfortable and the food was delicious. We got to talking about English literature because both Akira and I majored in it in college. It was terrific, books are definitely my favorite topic. I recommended a couple of books and then they recommended some Japanese authors for me. I will look for translations when I get back to America. Meme's husband Khan, Meme, Me, Akira

Such a good time.

I said goodbye to my Tuesday classes yesterday. It was difficult. Sad to think of not seeing them anytime soon. Here are some pictures of me and my students -Good classes. I will miss them a lot.

So I have been slowly packing. It is a very difficult task, very dependent on timing. I have to plan out everything I am doing for the next few days to make sure I don't pack the things that I might need at some point. It will be nice when it's all done and my suitcases are on their way to Narita Airport. Too bad I'm the one that has to get it done.

Well, that is all for today. Two posts in two days? Whoa.
