Back to school

With Monday coming up I once again had to get back to school. I got quite a lot of work done Monday morning and in the evening I went out with Eiko, a friend who have lived and taught Japanese at Copenhagen University. Tuesday evening my new host family helped me plan my vacation. I mostly want to go to Kyuushuu because I have never been there but it is both expensive and a bit troublesome. If that isn't possible I'll just go to Hiroshima to check out the Atomic Bomb Dome, the remains of a building after the atomic blast.

Wednesday I went out with my first home stay family again. They wanted to show me "real" sushi and not just the cheap rotating kind. Mr. Oginome's elder sister and her husband was buying and it was very delicious. We all drank a lot and the two wives drank a bottle of wine each. Either they are heavy drinkers or they must have had a big headache the next day. Besides the sushi we also had a rather peculiar delicacy: half a fried breams head. Since I was the gaijin I got to eat the eye of the fish and I must say that it belongs to one of the more strange things I have eaten in my life. It didn't have any particular interessting taste - it just tasted like fish.
