Igo Practice (Day 42)

Today after school I practiced igo with Ounishi.  He is a very good igo player, and he is going to be at the tournament tomorrow with me.  We practiced for about 3 hours, and I think that I am finally figuring out some basic shapes that are dead and alive.  Then I went to table tennis practice.  I went on a "kaidashi", big shopping, with Kodama.  On my team there is a running joke that Kodama and I look the same.  I had to buy "okashi", snacks, for tomorrow.  Since you are consistently thinking in igo your blood sugar can drop, so people eat many sweets.  Afterwards I went home to my grandma's house to pick up the information paper about the tournament tomorrow that I left at her house.  She had made yakisoba.  Then I went back to my host family's house for dinner.  They had leftover from the yakiniku yesterday, iwashi sashimi, and iwashi eggs.  The iwashi was given to us by a relative that had just gone fishing.  The eggs were in the fish when they had gutted it.  At night for some reason we started talking about magic tricks, and I decided to show them some that I used to do when I was younger.  During elementary and middle school I used to love magic tricks.  It was fun to do them again for a change.
