Last night I cooked a delightfully delicious meal straight out of my new cookbook. I kind of followed the directions and in the end it looked somewhat like the picture but tasted better. I am currently looking forward to lunch with a hardly containable delight surpassing that of even the kids so I can eat the left overs. It was salmon and egg and lettuce and stuff in a frypan. Yummy. I had a bit of a read of some manga (comics), I thought maybe it was time to check out this phenomenon that Japan is famous for. Turns out the one I chose was quite pornographic (by which I mean very) although supported by the kind of soppy love stories you would expect a highschool girl to dream up. And I did think I was in the school kids section too... I hope I was wrong.
Work itself continues to be dull in the extreme. This morning I busied myself actually reading the mountains of paper that stealthily make their way onto my desk every morning. Usually a 2 minute perusal convinces me they are about nothing at all and after wasting 2 hours I have determined that they are indeed useless crap, although I did increase my vocabulary markedly. I found the handbook to go with the previously mentioned lecture on How to Cross the Road which seems to be in even more detail than the oral version.
On the upside though it has stopped raining and I can see the outline of the sun through the clouds for the first time in a week! I managed to walk to work today much to everyone's horror. "You have a car, why don't you drive?" Nobody here walks unless they must. In one of my first days here when Hirai was taking me around the place he suggested we take the car across the carpark just to avoid walking to the next shop. It was seriously 50metres. AND it wasn't even raining!
