Hi there everyone, Anand as always. Hope you all had a great long weekend. I have been madly busy in the past few weeks, but this weekend was my oasis from the daily grind. Unlike most of my weekends, where I work or think about working, I decided this weekend would be better spent with some good friends, some good food and some good drink. You’ll see what I mean.

On Friday I met up with two old friends from university, Moe and Fumi. I took Japanese lessons with Moe in university. I ended up teaching in Japan for over five years, and he spent the time pursuing a doctorate in Japanese history. Fumi was an exchange student while I was studying and now she lives in Tokyo. ?Moe is going to do research in Kyushu but stopped in Tokyo to meet up with us. ?We had some great Mexican food and went to karaoke together. ?And of course, we took some purikura. ?Here are the results. ?My eyes are pretty scary, right?

On Saturday a friend of mine from Isumi-gun in Chiba game over to visit me. ?I showed him around Chinatown and we ate at an all you can eat restaurant. ?Oh, and we had some beer too. ?Well, not some…lots.

And finally I went to Yotsukaido for a wine party, hosted by one of my friends. ?Dr. Sato is one of the first people I met in Japan and I taught his son in junior high school. ?He has always been super kind to me and I consider myself lucky to know him.

It was a great weekend with friends out of three chapters in my life. ?But they are all people I would never know if I taken an interest in Japanese and Japan. ?For that choice that I made, over seven years ago, I am truly thankful.
