Happy Notes

ゴールデン ウィーク です!

It's Golden Week at last! No classes tomorrow, and I leave for Hiroshima on Saturday!

I feel like things have been going a little better for me language-wise the past few days. I'm suddenly having a slightly (but noticeably) easier time remembering the words and grammar that I've learned, and I've carried on a few real conversations (both in and out of class) in Japanese (quite limited and somewhat broken Japanese, but still).

Yesterday, Kyoko-san took me to a sushi and udon restaurant for lunch, which was awesome. I tried 雲丹 (うに; uni; sea urchin), which was very unusual tasting but rather good.

釜玉うどん (かまたまうどん; kamatama udon; udon with egg and green onion) is awesome. That's the ¥330 lunch I mentioned early on in my trip. Also, いもけんぴ (imokenpi; candied sweet-potato sticks) are one of the best snacks ever.

An Australian paper has an article on the FHCers in Harajuku, which I find amusing.

Also, have you seen this guy?
