Payday in Yen

Ah, only the second official day at work in the school and then it was payday. Life has been very kind to me.

Since the direct deposit for my salary has not been activated yet, I received an envelop full of cash (money!) from Miyakoshi-san, the school's accountant! It's crazy. I've never carried around this much cash in my life and never have I felt so safe with it.

Don't worry, I'll stash it in the bank.

To celebrate this momentous occasion of being paid in Yen for the first time, I invited a bunch of JETs over for a small dinner party.

The guestlist included a bunch of JETs and also Kaleb's friend. I think I got a bit carried away when inviting all these people cause my rice cooker only allowed 4 cups of rice to be cooked at a given time. Of course, the guys did not have enough to eat.

All in all, it was nice to have a night with a tummy warming food!
