Things are slowly coming together. I replaced the map of Yonezawa which was hanging on the wall with the Canadian flag you see here. On the opposite wall I've hung the team Canada hockey jersey I bought for the 2010 Olympics. Other things I've bought to make the place more cosy: a place mat, soap dish, and slippers. On the practical end of things I'm wondering how the previous teacher managed to get through life without a kettle. Though I think Michael mentioned that she tossed hers out.
On Saturday night I went out with a group of ex-pats and locals to take part in a poker night held at the Crescendo Restaurant. It was my first time playing Texas Hold Em and I certainly did not have good poker instincts. I folded on one hand where I could've had a flush and tried to fold on a hand which I ended up winning with a four of kind. Plus I got beaten on the hand where I had been dealt a pair of kings...Ryo had been dealt a pair of aces Oh well. Things turned out well. I came in third and thus broke even.
Got my estimate for this month's electricity bill. It's a whopping 701yen. If only BC Hydro's rates were that low. Oddly enough, my usage level is about the same as it was in Canada: 27kwh.
That's it for now...Feel free to post comments if you like and thanks for "dropping in"!
Enjoy your pop rocks, sir.
