It's a payday Friday! Also, it's my first pay of the year. 

TGIF! It's the last day of my work week! Although I have only one team teaching activity today, my day was special when I was invited to attend a special meeting with the Kouchou Sensei (principal), Kyoto Sensei (vice-principal), and some select teachers.  It was all about introducing Blended Learning to Rumoi High School next school year. Aside from that, I received my first payslip today. Yey! 😍😍😍

Since I have plenty of time, let me tour you in Rumoi High School:

Friday night dinner at Ramen Moe

Since it's a Friday, I decided to eat out after work. For today's food trip, I headed out to Ramen Moe located at 1 Chome 3-4, Motokawacho.

It's actually a few blocks away from my house so I only spent on the food and not the transportation. Speaking about the food, I ordered their best seller which is the Miso Ramen. It cost 850 yen and is sure worth my hard-earned money. For the record, it is my first authentic ramen since I got here.

When I got home, there was a post office notification letter in my mailbox saying that I have mail to be picked up at the post office. Upon checking, the post office is open on Saturdays so that'll be one of my itineraries this weekend.

I'm one happy customer. Thank you, Ramen Moe

Overall, that ends my 3rd week in Japan. Please check out my other articles. 😄
