Introducing my landlady and my supervisor

Aso San

Aso San is my landlady and she is such a kind soul, always giving me food, inviting me over to her apartment for meals, go grocery shopping, go for tea, asking if I am warm enough, giving me an electric blanket......She has been taking good care of me and I am very thankful for that. Yesterday, we went for ramen and I managed to convince her to take a picture.


My super nice landlady

We were watching a TV show introducing ramen, and she suddenly has craving for ramen, so we went immediately for ramen.

 It's her 1st time in this ramen shop too. She seldom eats out.

 Miyabe Sensei

Miyabe Sensei is my supervisor. He is the first person I met from the school, cos he was the one who picked me up from Oita. He is a quiet and cute man, always very polite with me, always apologetic about asking me to do things. I would go to him for help whenever I need to get certain admin stuff doneand he is always ready to help me. Today, he came to me,handed me a coin purse and whispered to me, telling me that it's a secret. I was a little puzzled, it turned up that he went to Thailand (Chiangmai) and bought me an omiyage. How sweet of him!!! He didn't want others to know he went on a trip, so I have to keep quiet about it. I'm so glad he remembered me on his short trip to Thailand.

    Aso-san is a very modern auntie, just that she is not well, and has to take care of her old mother... if not she would be travelling around. Her EL is not bad...
