Quiz time!!!

Haha this will be funny....

This past week/weekend had a great time. Archery on Sunday and also went to some great restaurants. Thursday went to a sushi bar with a great chef. In Japan a lot of the chef's and people who work at these little sushi places also own it, in Japanese they're called SHOCHYO(I think) but you can also call them just 'master' lol it's pretty fun. Anyways my friends were talking so I started talking to the Master about this and that, then asked if I can take a picture with one of his sushi knives. He loved this then started showing me all of them and the differences. This was funny because every knife he showed me he was like,"Ok, take a picture..."

It turned out to be not only a great way to practice Japanese, but I also learned a lot about different types of knives you use for sushi. NOW, for the quiz...which one of these bad boys is an UNAGI knife(unagi = eel).








Hmmmmmm, GOOD LUCK.

So that was Thursday, Friday went to Yakitori...was very very good! Met another different "Master" because as we got there some good friends were leaving, peeps I went camping with and since it was our first time to this place(and they've been going for a couple years) they brought the master over and basically told him to hook us up :P (just got some fries!) But, quiz question number 2! Anyone care to take a guess at what this delicious thing is :)



Fast forward to Sunday...



And some Karaoke @ night(GAGA!!!)

Very fun.


2 weeks until I need to be out of my apartment!!!

3. I'm leaving in about 3 weeks

'TEAR'

She's the friggin coolest cat ever! We'll see what happens with her she's still young. JUST LIKE ME! 27 this year JEEZ. It's been getting better each year though so I'm stoked for 27...moving on..

This past week was rough coming off a great vacation, I was honestly in a bad mood and wanted to be a prick to everyone, except the kiddo's that is. But I didn't and rose above!!! Dropped into Tokyo to drop off a baby present to some good friends of mine. Got them some one-zies! Nice to just dip into Tokyo when I see fit, always refreshing and funky at the same time to change it up a bit. Tokyo always freaks me out with how many people speak English!! And I'm always happy to come back usually which is good. BUT! I really would love to live there for a year or two somehow, the style is insane!!! I think it'd be tough though seeing that many people and really never speaking to anyone...it's funky.

TIME IS COUNTING DOWN. Better start to get on it. Looking forward to this summer and things to come!!! Will do my best to keep everyone updated. Archery again this Sunday! w00t!

My phone broke!

Hence not so many pictures! I pulled it out of my pocket one day and I dropped it on the edge of my coffee table! It sucks...BUT

CAMPING THIS PAST WEEKEND WAS AWESOME.



I threw the one that's not on FB for a little something different. Perfect weather, and perfect people. I had so much fun it's not even funny. All day and all night for 3 days straight. Shimoda( where we stayed) is beautiful! And the people @ the beach were really nice and we had a small volleyball rivalry with some of the locals and did all right.

Sunrise...



We drove all night to beat all the crazy weekend traffic(it's gnarly out here because the 10 million people living in Tokyo are also off = no fun)

As we first pulled out to get our first view of the ocean, BOOM! Bright red sun. Never figured out why they called it that until Sunday. This was a different pic on a different day but it was BRIGHT RED. Couldn't believe it!

One more month (33 days) until I'm out...gonna be busy!
