Today I was still at the Kawasakis with all the kids and stuff. We went downtown to a big bookstore and one of the main reasons was to look for my sister’s Itoya Xenon pen. Apparently Itoya pens don’t exist in this part of Japan. We’ve all agreed that my sister is a harsh taskmaster.

Dr. Kawasaki (the older son of Dr. Kawasaki) was called out this morning and so our plans were slightly delayed. After he got back, we all went to a Japanese onsen hot spring, which was packed. There’s no pictures because you really shouldn’t see pictures of a bunch of naked Japanese dudes and they probably would have kicked my ass for bringing in a camera.

Tomorrow I’m off to Tokyo, my mom is off to my aunt’s, and the Kawasakis are all off to their respective houses. Not much has gone on here, but it was fun nevertheless!
