Hi everybody,
Hisashiburi desu ne (it’s been a while). Osokunatte
sumimasen (sorry for being late).
We’ve just been really busy. We have had classes and
fieldtrips and a long commute.
Today we went to Kyoto University where David got a lesson
on tourist safety. So as we follow our nice guide, Mariko, as she shows us
around her campus, David and his friends of course become American tourists –
that is standing in the middle of a busy road full of bikes and taking
pictures. The biker fortunately missed, but still, not a smart thing to be
doing there, David (He later ran into a parked bike…serves him right).
This evening we ate at an “Italian Restaurant.” I’m not
really sure how “Italian” it was. There was “American Italian” standards like
pizza with ham, but also salad with teriyaki pork. We tried the squid ink
pasta. It was ok. But the soda machine was nice. Mmmmm. All you can drink melon
soda for less than 200 yen ($2.25).
We also went to the arcade today. And bowling! While Japan
doesn’t have the cool bowling animated clips on the score tvs (ex showing a
banana split when you split), their bowling alleys are really cool. They are
above the arcade and have a cool atmosphere to them. Even the shoe rental is
kinda fun – push a button and shoes come out automatically!
Yay for super hi-tech Japan!
