Sunny Monday

What a sunny day it was this morning! I cleaned the bedroom after I got up. Just about I was ready to throw the blankets in the washing machine, my husband suggested we do the laudry after the plum rain season.

The online Japanese reading group started from 8:30 till 9:30. We read the recent news about the introduction of remote interpretation serice for foreigners by the Japanese police station. In a globalized world now, foreigners can be found in any country.

We learned a popular Japanese song of "A Foreigner" by Kubota Saki in 1979, the year I left Taiwan for the graduate school of Louisina State University Medical Center in New Orleans. A Foreigner is full of exotic scenes and melodies. 

I wired NT$20,000 to my tenant for the interior renovation. I don't mind spending NT$185,500 dollars in total for fixing the roof and curtains, I am in a way grateful that someone can take care of my penthouse downtown Taipei.

Before noon, I rode my bike to my Korean teacher's place. We had cold noodles and red wine for lunch. We had cheese cake and coffee after lunch, sang a few Korean songs, conversed in Korean for 30 minutes. I rode the bike to WenShan Sports Center to exercise for one hour and a half. In the downpour, I rode my bike back to XinDian with my raincoat on.

After dinner, I spent two hours recording the Japanese news and drama script.

I have been busy communicating with relatives in Beijing about the inheritance of the old court house recently. More than 30 years ago, I stayed overnight with my cousin at the old court house in the winter.
