Today was a great day, because it started off with Mister Donut. Yum. :)
We finished up our speeches at school today (WHEW), and then went to have lunch with the dentist. He took us to a beautiful traditional Japanese restaraunt, where we took out shoes off and sat on the tatami mats (this is something I love about Japan). Some of the food was weird; my impression of really traditional Japanese food is that most of it is served cold, and most of it has a really strong taste, so you either really like it or really hate it. But after the traditional stuff we had tempura, which i adore, haha. Then the dentist presented us with the yukata he bought for us and two women came in and taught us how to put them on ourselves. It is so complicated! Haha. But it was good to learn the proper way to do everything. Tomorrow, we are going to meet the mayor of Kurume. The four of us (Noemi, Cameron, Daniel and I) have to wear our yukata when we go to meet him, and a Japanese woman is going to help Noemi and I do Japanese hair and make up so I think it will be really cool! It was a great day, although the dentist did some strange things and I am no longer so sure of his good intentions. Either way it was kind of him t buy us yukata and I won't see him anymor during this trip.

ReplyDeleteCongrats on the completion of the speech! That's impressive my dear. Now I get bragging rights on how my best friend can speak for a while in all Japanese. Bet not many other people's best friends can do that...suckers. :) The mayor sounds exciting to meet, good luck and i know you'll rock the Japanese look gorgeously.
Be safe and i miss you. :)
