This year’s birthday was so much fun!! Normally I don’t do
too much, but this year, there were all kinds of things that happened. At our school, our staff is really big on
giving birthday presents to each other, so I ended up getting all sorts of nice
different things. Many of them had to do
with me going to the beach or a live or one of my other interests, which was
absolutely amazing. I was super touched
by how thoughtful all of the gifts were!
Also, the other teachers let it slip to the students, so I got wished a
happy birthday many many times all day long.
And some of the students even gave me some little presents (a cut out
paper heart, paper rabbit head and a number of leaves from outside). I also got sung to many times throughout the
day. Maybe too many times. :P But it was really nice anyway.
I had also planned to go out for dinner on the weekend, but
when one of the other teachers found out that I was going to go by myself, she
offered to join me, and then it ended up that all of the Japanese full time
teachers came with us, so it was a nice group of five of us. We went to a Japanese buffet restaurant and
had a lovely dinner and some interesting conversations! They were also super kind and treated me to
dinner, which they really didn’t have to, but it was so kind of them! I was so
happy to go together instead of going alone!
And then on Sunday afternoon, although not really related to
my birthday, I went out again with the same girl I hung out with for a day in
Okinawa. We visited her house (because
she forgot something before we started :P) and then wandered around AEON, a
shopping mall, looking at all sorts of different things, checked out what
movies were playing (no English ones), stopped at a café, wandered around some
more, and then headed out for dinner.
Originally, she wanted to take me to yakiniku, but when we arrived at
the restaurant (after she finally found it – she forgot where it was – lol) it
turned out that it would’ve been about a 40 minute wait, and she didn’t want to
wait that long so we got back in the car to find another restaurant. This time we were headed to a Korean
restaurant, which it again took her a while to find hehehe. When we got into the restaurant, we took a
look through the menu and ordered WAAAAYY too much food for the two of us, but
it was delicious! We must’ve stayed
there for at least a couple of hours (we sat around talking as we were trying
to work up some more room in our stomachs for the food). After that we headed back in the direction of
Takamatsu and ended up back at my apartment where we talked for a probably
another hour and a half or so. It was soooo much fun and we also talked about
other things we should do and places we should go together, so I also have some
things to look forward to in the future!!
Exciting! ^_^
