Quite possibly one of the best dinners ever

Yakiniku, or fried meat, is really really good. Basically it is a big frying pan on a table with various raw meat (beef and sausage for me) and vegetables (lettuce, sweet potatoes, and eggplant) which you stick on the pan yourself and cook. I don't know what they do to the beef here but it is HEAVENLY. I know that the kobe beef here comes from cows that are massaged and fed beer (I had some last year, I thought I could see Nirvana), but this was just ordinary stuff. I could get used to living here...

Another day of school tomorrow, what fun! As long as I don't have to stand in front of hundreds of students and introduce myself, I think I'll be fine. Wish me luck!

Ja ne.
