I slept in until eight this morning before I rolled out of bed to a nice chicken ramen breakfast. It's actually quite ingenius. The ramen is shaped with a dip on the top for you to crack a raw egg. Then when you pour the boiling water in it gives you a nice soft boiled egg and tastey ramen. After that I went about making some flash cards for the up coming kanji test and reviewing some of the material we've covered. That was pretty boring so I ended up reading Momotarou for the first time. It's crazy how difficult a children's book can be. I don't think I understood even 40% of vocabulary in the book.
I spent the whole day inside just studying and watching Japanese TV so there isn't a whole lot to write about. I read through Chapter 3 of Toppa Mono. It's pretty interesting so far but it definately comes across as kind of a tall tale. Some of the tales of his school yard brawls with rival gangs read like something straight out of any main stream drama. The author does make excellent use of historical and literature references thoughout the story. At least that much is really paying off because it helps to frame the story with historical events like the different political movements going on and major earthquakes that happened in the area.
