Mike's left the country to spend the weekend in Korea (for reasons I didn't really understand; I don't think he even speaks Korean... he's a third-gen Taiwanese American). His passport's getting a little crowded with all those papers...

Meanwhile, Sara's mother (*ignores all comments from Rob*) became the latest relative to visit us yuugakusei. We met her Thursday, and I gave her the usual greeting ("So, how do you like our country?" ;D) She speaks maybe five words of Nihongo, so Sara's having to direct her around whenever she heads out. That didn't stop her from visiting Kyoto during the weekend, or from tagging along for the weekly elementary school visit.

Neither has anything to do with my current mood, which is due to some confusion over whether the on-campus computer lab would be open today (it wasn't >_<).
