So I had a nice day with my chief and her husband. We visited the fishmarket where I bought a whole bag of fresh fish for about $20 (why is fish in NZ so expensive?) to put in the freezer. Then we went to a 2nd hand shop with 50% discount where I bought a suit for school, followed by a visit to a wholesale store where I bought peanutbutter, and stroopwafels. We thne drove to Jindaiji temple for the first visit of the new year Hatsumoude. My fortune read ‘good fortune for the future’ so that is good. the temple is 800 years old and famous for ao soba. We had a lovely lunch. This was a very nice day out, just the kind of thing I like.
