Guess what we had for dinner last night - Yakiniku!! We opted for 'all-you-can-eat' and we really did manage to get our money's worth! Because Keita is still in elementary school, he was cheaper but I'm sure they didn't believe me when I said he was only 12 - he was bigger than all the waiters! Only another couple of months until he has to start paying adults prices but I think we've done well to have been able to get the discount for so long since he has eaten more than any of us for a long time. We all came home well and truly stuffed!

Yesterday we got a fax from Kana's teacher at her Japanese school to say that she will be staying with her host father's parents for a couple of days while the family is away (didn't say where to but probably something like a wedding). I know she has already met them so I don't think she will be too bothered about it. Actually I've just looked at it again and the dates say she stayed with them last night and will stay again tonight. That's probably why I haven't had an email from her for a couple of days. She has been writing regularly which is nice and since it's all in English, it's good practice for her too. I'm keeping a copy of all of them so that when she comes home, she can see how much her English improved over the months!
