The other night we went out with friends to a sushi restaurant. It was one of those fun sushi places where little plates rotate on a conveyer belt around the bar and you grab whatever you want whenever you want. It was very tasty but it makes it much easier to overeat. Scott's favorite was takoyaki (octopus) and I liked all the fresh fish, even when there was mayo on it. They really like to top dishes off with mayo here.
After dinner we went bowling! It was my first time bowling in Japan and let me tell you, they have much nicer rental shoes... with velcro! Of course, we bumped into some of my students but my friends' newborn baby got most of the attention. Amazingly she slept through most of the bowling! Scott and I played horribly but managed to get a couple of strikes. It was nice to see people of all ages playing and enjoying themselves. (I'm a little distracted today because the school's brass band is playing YMCA. It's pretty amazing!)
This week, Scott and I also met the friendliest, coolest, little 4 year old boy. He's the neighbor of a fellow JET teacher in the area. We went over to see him and before we even got out of the car, this little guy was yelling to us, "He's not home. He went out! (Oniisan innai yo!)". We decided to wait around and were fully entertained by this sweet boy. He showed us frogs, this garden, how he can run super fast, and even started to try to teach Scott Japanese. He really liked Scott and was holding his hand and pulling him around places. It was too adorable. We like our house but Scott says he would trade it all to be neighbors with this little guy!
