Ride to work

Yesterday on my way to the bus, I saw my Japanese friend. This is the guy who writes some letters and sends me gifts. It was random to see him, but it was nice to see someone I knew. This guy is probably in his mid-50s and just some nice guy.
So today started out like usual.
I was in line for the bus and again my Japanese friend comes up. This time to offer me a ride to work. It seemed a bit strange, but I went along with it.
I ended up getting to work about 15 mins faster.
But we made some plans to meet on Saturday so I can meet his whole family.
His daughter just has a baby.
I think it would be nice to sleep on Saturday, but I feel that I should visit with this nice guy.

Three Good things:
1. I finally had some sleep. I slept about 6 hours only waking up once.
2. I found some store that sells HUGE pieces of cake. Sumi-san and I will go on Sunday!
3. I had a real fuji apple. The fruit here is great. I mean I paid $2.10 for this apple but it was the best! Japan fruit is good.

Three Strange things:
1. My bathroom has some sign in English to keep bathroom doors closed because steam could set of the fire alarm. I think this is strange and a bit of a liability.
2. The fries at lunch are served cold. I had some today. They aren't delicious, but I at them anyway.
3. The shrimp comes whole... Today, I ate the whole thing, eyes, legs, shell and all.... it was strange texture and gross to my belly. I had just gotten over the shark fin!

I am home early and I think I will take some time to relax!
