Sweet Paradise
Yesterday at work the kids were really well behaved. I think they were just testing me last week. Little do they know that I have an iron will.
Last night I went with the ladies and went to this place called "Sweet Paradise" in Shibuya. It was basically a huge buffet of cake. They had like pasta and rice and stuff so you could make a meal out of it. It was pretty good. I ate way too much cake goodness though. I think if i never see a cake again it will be too soon. Even though last night my stomach was telling me 6-7 plates of cake was not a good idea, it was so worth it.
This afternoon I bought my ticket for the trip to Kyoto. Pretty exciting. This time next week I'll be in an entirely different part of Japan. The Japanese often say Tokyo is not real Japan, so I'm looking forward to seeing it.
Tonight I went back to the college group at church for the barbeque. They had grilled hamburger-esque patties and hot dogs. Both really good. I say hamburger esque because I think they were actually just hamburg steak without gravy. Hamburg steak for those unaware to Japanese styled western food, is like a large hamburger patty with sort of steak seasoning mixed in. I knew I was in Japan when the shredded lettuce turned out to be shredded cabbage, and for those meat eaters out there that don't know the difference in your greens. There are plenty. But it was good none the less. I met one guy, Taishi, and he was really funny. He spoke really good english but his word choice at times was really interesting. He told us that he wanted to have 2-10 children so he could play music with them all. We told him about the Patridge family and he seemed to like that idea. He also started telling us about a baby his pastor's wife had jsut had. And he described him as "a small fragile american baby". He had a chance to hold the baby and since the "baby was fragile" he was afraid he would "destroy" the baby.
