Hello!
It was really nice snow in Kobe yesterday, I enjoyed it a lot, but it seems other areas were more rainy than snowy.
This is a picture of my little garden at around 7:15 in the morning when it had just started snowing seriously. As it snowed until about 11 o'clock that day, I suppose at a later time it would have been more charming. Unfortunately, I couldn't be at home then:




Talking about "this & that" with me on this Saturday were Miranda who brought in the story about the first assignment from "Knight Scoop" last night: A young lady who was afraid of "Kamaboko-Rolls" - it was very funny, and it turned out that she was scared of holes just about finger-thickness. Please don't ask neither her nor me for the second & third assignment - we were both deeeeeep in dream world!
Then there was Briana who was seriously concerned about the developments in Egypt, and about this guy who has a virtual, cyber-space girlfriend.......scary!
Rounding up our little group of three today was Ashley who told us about her son's sudden hospitalization, and a very smart "sniffer dog" which is trained to recognize if a person has cancer just by the smell of his/her breath! Wow! Some bright news for a change!

Our Japan-related study material looked liked this (one has to read it twice t get the wit):




And our Choco Cup cake for this Saturday:




Well, that's it - have a great last day of a long weekend!
