We spent part of the weekend exploring our new surroundings, but since our primary form of transportation at this point is walking and the temperatures remain unholy, it was not a very thorough exploration. We did catch a ride up to our new neighborhood, and looked through the windows at our new house—will still be a while before we are given keys.
Had a great dinner at a curry restaurant. You choose the type of meat you want (Jim and I both went with the thin sliced pork), the amount of rice you want (300 grams) and the spice level. I went with the regular spice, but Jim tried level 3. I think it took him a bit by surprise—there was a good deal of sniffling as the spiciness got to him. It is hard to imagine what a level 10 must be like. It was hard to understand the translation on the English menu, but I think you might have to have a doctor’s note to order the level 10. Maybe paramedics on standby?? Mizu o kudasai!! (Water please!!)
Haven’t really had jet lag I don’t think, but we are both very tired. If we are still awake at 9:30 p.m. we are doing well. My theory is the heat is sucking the life out of us. It also doesn’t help that Japan is not on daylight savings time, and the sun is shining in our hotel windows at 4:30 each morning. Of course, this also means it is dark around 7:00 p.m., and my body thinks that means bed time. Oyasumi nasai! (Good night!)
