I have had two Japanese lessons today, because it is Friday. Yoshimatsu-sensei, this morning, brought in a selection of Japanese snacks, for some reason. Some were tasty, like the dried noodles, but others were not, i.e. the sweet-potato crisps. I managed to get the toy that came in a packet of mints, though I did not get a mint. It is a pencil-end, with a spring and a football sticker on the end. I feel so cool now, as if I am going to be the most popular kid in the playground. In the afternoon, we had Ohnishi-sensei, which was fine but nothing amazingly fun. I cannot remember what we did, though. Japanese lessons are not interesting anymore, but I am still learning things, which is good, but not fast enough for my liking.

For the rest of the day, I have been programming. I have started my program from scratch in order to make the internal workings beautiful and well coordinated. I am having fun, though, even if it is a seemingly pointless activity. I am certainly no longer bored, but it locks me in my computer even more than previously.

Today has been muggy, even though it has been raining. It is a sample of things to come, I fear, but, luckily, I am coming home before the rainy season hits. That will bring hot weather, typhoons, and very high humidity levels. Not something that anyone likes, I fear, but the Japanese cope with it. They all carry around their pocket-handkerchiefs with which to mop their brows. I like good, cool, British weather.
