Day 172 in Japan - Winter Holiday Tests Begin!

At school I actually got to study Japanese - I have heard tales of this "spare time at school" phenomena, but I have never really got to experience it myself. I finished my lesson plans for first week, and had a bit of time left over to study :O It was all because the students have their holiday tests today - that's right, the students have to study independently over the holidays here, and are tested on what they learned when they come back to school!

Leaving work in the daylight!

After school I was a good adult and went shopping and bought serious adult groceries. Then Sam came home with lots of non-adult groceries and we ate those instead - curry pan and cake for dinner!

Food Highlight of the Day: The chocolate mousse cake that Sam brought home was the best chocolate-ish cake I have had in Japan. Most of the chocolate cake looks good, but tastes meh - this was the real deal!
