This week was very busy at work and I had to take the Japanese Language test, so Kate helped me out and did this weeks post....enjoy..
June san and I went to a very traditional Japanese restaurant in Utsunomiya this week.
They served many different small dishes to each of us... I wondered how I would eat all of this and was surprised how easy it was....I must admit though I was full.
Delicious!
The meat on this stick is beef tongue...it is the only thing I couldn't swallow. It may have been just because I knew what it was.... but it was pretty tough and chewy.
This week at school Colleen had a special day. There were a number of different activities and I was able to go in to see her. Colleen's self portrait from Sport's Day....It was hanging on the wall with a poem she wrote in the gym. They had little festival and concert of there own for everyone to enjoy.
The kids all dressed up, sang and played the pianica. They prepared all week. They broke into groups to each prepare games. Her team chose a bowling game. They took PET bottles and filled them with stones and then made balls out of tape. They made origami prizes for everyone. I was lucky enough to be able to play and pick out a special origami. It was great to see all of the creative games the kids came up with and the team work.
Saturday we went to the Shionome san's for dinner. Of course we had a wonderful time! We were able to try some delicious new dishes , a new Japanese game and definitely laugh a lot.
I'm not sure of the name of the game but you spin a top with pictures on it, then depending on the picture it lands on you must drink out of that cup. There are three different cups. A large Tengo (red figure with long nose), a smaller older woman's face with a hole in it that you have to plug with your finger while you drink from it, and a nice small cup. The kids enjoyed their juice and water. :) It would be fun to bring one of these home.
Thats all for this post, have a good week..
