いま なんーじ?

Week 2 (Days 10-13)
Getting into the swing of things now; I'm an absolute pro at anaesthetics
Apart from when Ikemura-sensei got me to fill in a form for 3 hours and I didn't record the pulse a single time.
Oops.

Speaking of Ikemura-sensei, she and Konjiki-sensei went shopping over the weekend, to buy me presents!

That's right, a fan and chopsticks with my name on.
I forget the name of the guy but he's a big deal around here apparently, I think his name translates as 'eye monster'
ç

The celebrity that I am got asked to present a paper on the Wednesday morning, in a foreign language to these poor doctors.
It was a surprisingly interesting read, about the history of anaesthesiology and the contributions of T. Cecil Gray, I'd put a reference in but nobody other than Laura Watson would be interested.
It went down an absolute treat.

That night, Toshihiro-san and Kyoko-san came round to discuss plans for the weeknd.
They brought presents too!
トトロ fan!
どうもありがとうございます!


We decided on takoyaki & okonomiyaki followed by a trip to Kurashiki's Bikan District (old town).
Sam then had to leave to go and eat sushi with PK-sensei, a traumatising experience for him as a lungfish struggled to breathe whilst watching him eat bits of it and its friends & family.

Friday came round very quickly (last day of anaesthetics *sad face*)
I sat in another presentation of an English paper by the Japanese students.
It's a bit poor that we (I) are reluctant to fully read a paper in our own language when asked to present it, but these poor guys have to translate what was quite possibly the worst-written paper in the world and present it to the ignorant gai-hin that is myself.

I, as a celebrity, had been invited to eat Korean food with the anaesthetists on Friday, Sam-san & Tom-san went and got drunk and ate watermelon at Toshihiro-san & Kyoko-san's place I think.

It's Friday, Friday.
Gotta get down on Friday.
