June 2nd: The Fourth Floor Doctor

It was a cool Sunday night in summer. Rain was gently sprinkling on my hotel window while I lay in bed, stricken with illness. It was quarter past seven when I heard a knock at my door. Nicholas, my roommate, leaped up and answered immediately. It was Dr. T, the head professor for our study abroad in Japan program. He had come to take me to the doctor. I had felt quite ill in the days leading up to this point. I was sneezing left and right, and my throat was drier than a desert.

I was getting worse, and I had to do something. "The last check-in is at 7:30," Dr. T told Nicholas. I was running out of time. I had to hurry.

This class was more of a hands-on experience as we were able to mix the ingredients with a partner and then feed our dough through a strainer. Then our instructor guided us to separate our noodles into even 100-gram portions, which we got to see get deep fried. Once it was done boiling, we were able to package our ramen and take more home. After this first class, there was another session where you were able to make your own flavor; however, I didn’t attend it. I instead went to a farmers’ market that I saw while leaving the hotel that morning, but everything there was more on the expensive side so I didn’t buy anything. At this time, it was really hot so I ended up eating at this cute café I fou...
