Back at Last!

I arrived at 5:30pm on Saturday, Sept. 22 (Japan time).



I stayed at my friends' apartment for Saturday and Sunday night, and had a great time seeing them for the first time in a year!



So far I have eaten some "soup-curry," which was a very interesting concept and, though a little odd, the combo of hardboiled egg, potato, fresh tomato, green beans, baby corn, and beef ravioli in a spicy broth was tasty. I also had some of Japan's lovely "Italian" food, including pumpkin gnocchi, and cheese and mochi pizza (we asked them not to put the mayonaise on top).



I also tried the new fall flavor of "swirkle" at Tully's (coffee shop): Cassis Orange--I highly recomend it! While Erin tried their new "salty caramel latte."

Mmmmm...these were so good we just kept drinking them! Well, actually we just kept pulling out paper ones we got at the at the coffee place and "drinking" from it.











I start my job tomorrow, so there may or may not be anything interesting for me to write about...we'll see.


Sorry this post is so lame, but I have only been here 3 days, and don't have any funny stories yet.


By the way...it is almost 6pm on Monday the 24th, so if you are reading this in the US, it is like I am talking to you from the FUTURE!!!!
