More ramen

Got back from Tsunan and had an MSN invite from Eric to go for food. We ended up at the ramen place near Jusco; my third time in four days. We chatted and again, like yesterday, I found out that another ALT has winter blues. We were thinking why this year's winter blues is worse than previous years. We decided that being away from home, where we can't follow our normal 'hibernation' routine, was the main reason. I'm craving stews, custard creams and apple crumbles and I can't get any of that over here.

Lessons today went well, mainly because of the restaurant activity. It worked like a dream again in Mineki-sensei's lessons. For ikarashi-sensei's first year class I made a picture menu and we used that with dialogue, which worked pretty well too. For her third-year class we played vocabulary games which teh students enjoyed. I doubt I'be be able to use the games again for Ikuta-sensei's third years.
