jinianI have made the tiniest of dorky American bows.
I have accidentally pressed the alarm button in a bathroom. (Why are there alarm buttons in bathroom stalls?!)
I have eaten curry rice, san-ramen, and okonomiyaki with baked noodles -- both precooked but then brought to our table's hot plate so we could mess with cooking them further. All delicious!
I have given a present in thanks for someone's help.
I have been almost entirely unable to figure out the hot-water system in the bathroom here, but then triumphed.
Although I didn't know it was an agenda item, evidently my fifty mosquito bites are a thing. Minako describes the mosquito as the ancient enemy of the Japanese, and, after finding that the bites covering my ankles make my whole foot feel swollen, I think that it is my nemesis also.
And apparently I will have been in a typhoon. It started raining really hard when we got to the Nara area tonight, though it doesn't seem windy yet. Tropical Storm Roke is predicted to hit on Wednesday, when I need to be taking myself from here to Nagoya alone. Whee?
