Surprise!!

This past weekend was good. After work on Saturday, I went out with my friends for a birthday gathering. Alex met me at Kokubunji Station and we were off to Harajuku to surprise the birthday boy. After surprising Maine, who wasn't expecting to see us and was in complete shock, we all walked to Yoyogi Park to the Brazilian Festival. It was really nice! There were tons of people, food, drinks, and music. However, we didn't stay too long because we had to make it to the Tokyo Dome in Suidoubashi before it got too late. Once we made it to the Tokyo Dome, we were off to Bubba Gump Shrimp to eat the night away with the birthday boy. GOOD TIMES!

Check Out Some of the Pics.....

Today was supposed to be my day off; however I am working for my friend who has left for Australia for a few weeks. The day has been, well, let’s just say better than yesterday. I slept in a little later than usual and I took my time getting ready for work and eating breakfast.

Anyway, today after I finished teaching one of my classes, I decided to go eat lunch somewhere different. I went to a really nice restaurant that was on the top floor of this building overlooking the city of Kokubunji (pronounced KO-KUE-BUN-GEE). It was such a beautiful sight. I had to share it with you.

Once I made it to the top and was seated with my menu, I discovered I was in for a surprise (literally). Can someone tell me why the entire menu was written in Kanji (Japanese writing) as expected, BUT there were absolutely NO PICTURES!! JUST MY LUCK HUH!! I mean, seriously, what restaurant does that?? Now, usually when I go to a restaurant here, they have tons of pictures and I usually point to what I want and chow down. NOT TODAY!! AHHHHH!!! What the hell? At first, I thought about leaving, but then I decided SHOOOT I'M TOO HUNGRY!! So, I did the unthinkable. Yep, you guessed it!! I CLOSED MY EYES AND STUCK OUT MY POINTER FINGER AND CHOSE SOMETHING!!

And....... WAH- LAH!! MY MEAL!

WHEW!!
I didn't do too bad huh!!

It was actually very good. I ended up having fried rice, pickled SOMETHING (LOL), egg drop soup, and pudding with jam in the middle. Considering how picky I am, you must believe me when I tell you it was Good!!
