A year in Nagasaki

A desription of my final preparations during august and the fun time in Amsterdam during that time up to my year at the university of Nagasaki from the 1st october 2005 thru august 2006. Together with 9 other students from the University of Leiden, Holland, we are on an extra-curricular year to improve our conversational skills. Will it work ??

Curry Dinner

.
Forgot to tell you that last friday we finally did get a new toilet seat ... modern and sleek. !!!

Yesterday Paul and I left for that little island called Ijoujima 伊王島 , a twenty minute ferry ride from Nagasaki. Booked the one and only hotel there (cottage like accomodation with a veranda looking out on the bay of Nagasaki) for the night inclusive of dinner (Seaside BBQ), breakfast and onsen. Met Pim and his Dad on the ferry too. After a bit of beach time it was time for dinner. Unfortunately it had turned extremely windy and cold so the BBQ was bit of a let down. Sitting in the hot bath, however, in the evening and watching the stars certainly made up for it. Today we spend another day on the beach baking and finally returned back on a full boat.

Mads and Rudy cooked a curry dinner for Alex, Naoko and us. We brought the wine and Naoko lotsa strawberries (called ichigo 苺 in Japanese). Apparently we will have a repeat performance coming Sunday.

    My heart beats with unfettered joy on hearing the news of your new toilet seat. No more hovering over the porcelain.
    That little island sounds like a bit of a find. Sorry about the BBQ. We're used to BBQs like that here as you well know. Off to Gran Canaria on Monday so that should be fun. Having my liver removed on my return so it can be cleaned out.
    Think I told you Mum and Dad had been down. Mum is getting very frail. Not much news really so I'll be off. Take care.Miss you.
