Kids; A Birthday Celebration
It was E's B-day on Friday, when she spent the whole day with friends, so that we had our party for her last night, Sunday night. She just turned 18, yikes, how time flies!

Insecure Air
I have a bit of good news here. I got a job! Part time at my old school. They called out of the blue. Here in Japan, the Japanese dream has always been security. For women in particular, marrying a man with a stable salary, not having to work but being a wife and mother to the children you would...
