Winded

Today we ended up having no classes on account of a typhoon. The typhoon's main effect on the campus's area was to make it sunny, warm, and breezy: a perfect indian summer day.

(Why close school? So the teachers and students who live in neighboring prefectures wouldn't have to ride the trains. The trains can easily get disrupted in typhoons.)

I went with a group of other students to go get my Alien Registration Card. I know, I know, "alien?" But that's what they call us, officially, at least on that card.

After we got our cards, we went to a nearby ice cream shop, where I had some amazing Italian ice cream. Grom, in Shinjuku. Very nice.

Well, that was around 5pm, and a big meal was to come later, so, as you will soon see, I strayed from the ideal nutrition path today very much in the afternoon and evening.

Today's meals:

Breakfast:

plain yogurt
granolaesque cereal
apple

Lunch:

leftover mabo-dofu (homemade)
brown/white rice combo
sauteed spinach, mushrooms, green onions, garlic

Snack:

Grom ice cream cone.
Blueberry-raspberry on top.
The Italiana's recommended "Grom di creme" on the bottom.
Delicious.
(only 490 for the small cone.)
(yeah, not very frugal.)
(but worth it.)


























Dinner:

Goulash with dumplings (amazing)
too much cheetara (cheese strips in strips of cod), kaki no tane (crackers), and senbei (more crackers)
