Is There a Basic Living Smarts Book for David? (1/19/13)


Hi everybody,

Hisashiburi desu ne (it’s been a while). Osokunatte sumimasen (sorry for being late).

We’ve just been really busy. We have had classes and fieldtrips and a long commute.

Today we went to Kyoto University where David got a lesson on tourist safety. So as we follow our nice guide, Mariko, as she shows us around her campus, David and his friends of course become American tourists – that is standing in the middle of a busy road full of bikes and taking pictures. The biker fortunately missed, but still, not a smart thing to be doing there, David (He later ran into a parked bike…serves him right).

This evening we ate at an “Italian Restaurant.” I’m not really sure how “Italian” it was. There was “American Italian” standards like pizza with ham, but also salad with teriyaki pork. We tried the squid ink pasta. It was ok. But the soda machine was nice. Mmmmm. All you can drink melon soda for less than 200 yen ($2.25).

We also went to the arcade today. And bowling! While Japan doesn’t have the cool bowling animated clips on the score tvs (ex showing a banana split when you split), their bowling alleys are really cool. They are above the arcade and have a cool atmosphere to them. Even the shoe rental is kinda fun – push a button and shoes come out automatically!


Yay for super hi-tech Japan!
