On and after the seminar

On today's seminar I heard from our professor that tommorow he would go to Germany for official duties.
I envy that because of yen's present appreciation against the euro.
(now 1 euro is about 130 yen. Very cheap!)

And I heard from Rick that Kaz caught a cold which might be the H1N1 (or swine) influenze (新型インフルエンザ).
I saw him Monday this week so I may catch this disease from him (what a trouble!).

After our seminar I ate dinner with 3 seminarians including Rick who belong to the same seminar as I at a family restaurant, Bamiyan in Kunitachi city (sorry no photos).
I have never visited every Bamiyan for 2 or 3 years.
Bamian-ramen tasted good in spite of the fact that it was low-priced (418 yen in tax).
After a dinner we chatted there until about 10:30 p.m.
