2. Don’t get excited about the fancy looking box— it’s just tissues.
A gift from one of my students, who is particularly fascinated with the color of my hair.

Rufus (FFVII).
Fellow teacher and new bro, Rafael, and I have found two particularly amazing ‘hole-in-the-wall’ joints here in Koga.
1. An incredible, spicy Korean ramen dish made by a grandma who we suspect may have cooked for mobs..
2. A delicious and huge soba dish with rice and fresh clams made by the sweetest grandma who is thrilled we speak enough Japanese to get by in her little establishment.
We call them the Dad’s side and Mom’s side grandmas, because they’re so extremely different.
