March 19 (Sat.)

Today I went to a farewell party for one of my Japanese friends. He was a professor at a Japanese college. He was at Penn for one year on his sabbatical leave. It was a potluck party and I was assigned to make salad. When I went to his room with salmon and potato salad, there was a lot of food that we could never finish. We ate, drank and chatted till late at night.
