七月二十一日(shichigatsu nijyuichi nichi): July 21

It was another hot day. Most of schools are already in summer vacation. Therefore the trains seem to be less crowded.

Tonight I had a reunion of Expo '92. There were 35 attendants at the Japan pavilion at that time. One third is living abroad such as in USA and Spain. One of them came back from NY on business and vacation and the other is going to London to study Master's course this summer. 10 of us got together at a restaurant in Ginza (銀座) to welcome her and send her off. Some of them got together at the wedding in March, but I have not seen others for a long time.
The name of the restaurant is Kassui ryori Ginza Yamato (活水料理銀座やまと). We wondered what kassui means. Kassui literally means living water. Their dishes were healthy Japanese foods such as tofu (豆腐) and yuba (湯葉). They need good water therefore they might have named "living water dish" but we are not sure. We enjoyed talking too much to ask about it to the waitress. We stayed there for about 3 hours and a half, but we still have lots of things to talk.
They are always stimulative. I feel I am lucky to have worked with them at Expo '92.
