okonomiyaki

-          In contrast to buying groceries, eating out in Japan is quite cheap. And as I am still confused from all the unfamiliar food, I welcomed the opportunity to go out tonight with some friends (some of them have been here since the last semester, so they help me make sure there is no meat in my meal).

-          And so I ate okonomiyaki for the first time. There was no meat but also I think nothing else but cabbage. Maybe I still need to work on the food thing here but slowly slowly slowly I am making progress. Tomorrow we´re eating sushi.

-          Seeing how fluent the students became during one semester (some of them had only been studying Japanese for a year before they arrived here) gives me hope.
