At the same time, she is teaching English at Kobe Jogakuin High School, in a totally different part of the country. Her boys are to arrive in June and spend the second two of three months with her.

Four Senior Day!
Since everyone else is on vacation, I decided to go on vacation, too. I went to Nara, the ancient capitol of Japan. . .but I'd hardly left the house when I was flagged down by a middle-aged man who cried, "Hello!" His third question was, "Are you married?"
Maybe it was the bright blue shirt I wore today, but I was accosted by no less than four middle-aged men who wanted to speak English with me. Of course, I obliged them, while carefully hiding the fact that I speak Japanese. Chivalry. Women can do it, too!

That's adorable! I assume you didn't agree to marry any of these guys out of chivalry, though. I mean, what would Curt say?
ReplyDeleteAre you married? Well, you do look good in that mysterious blue/green color. It will be interesting to see if the same thing happens next time you wear that shirt!
