When Iwata san was over last Thursday for our Japanese classes, I told her about Alicia coming over. She was at first a little surprised that I would have a complete stranger stay at my place, but then became eager to meet her. Since she had free time during the day, she took Alicia around town. It worked out well because I was work till around 6pm. When I got back, we went to Joyfull (with 2 'L's) for dinner.

From there, I went to my (mini) volleyball practice later in the evening. No one speaks any English. It’s a good chance to improve my Japanese, but at the same time can be a little frustrating!

When I got back, Alicia and I ended up staying up till late, or rather early in the morning chatting away.
