Only In Japan Epsiode IV

Only In Japan Episode III

Fun!

In Japan, we often see things that make us laugh. Here are a couple of pictures.

 This was at a rest stop.

I think they should pick a different finger to hang up these gloves.

What is That Pile of...?

Joanna and I thought we would try a new place to eat on Friday after work. We couldn't really read the menu well but we were able to order some yakitori, a slice tomato that was really good, and some barbecued mushrooms. We saw a sign that said crab and miso so Joanna asked the lady about it and she finally ordered it. When they brought it, it looked like a pile of poop. We're not exactly sure, but we think it might be that waste part of a crab mixed with miso. I helped Joanna eat it but it was so disgusting I almost gagged.

 Delicious shitake mushrooms. Yum!

 The tuna sashimi was amazing! It tasted sooooo good!

THE PILE! Gag!

Kamakura

One of our Sixth Grade field trips is to Kamakura and it was raining this morning so I wasn't sure if we were going to go but we did. It was actually quite nice because it wasn't so hot but it was still really muggy.

The Spiders Cometh!

Yesterday morning I woke up and was heading downstairs when I looked at the tea fields next to our house and saw an eerie sight of the spiderwebs in the fields.

I'm a Genius...Not!

Well, a week ago on a Saturday I had laundry out and it was getting late but it was really warm outside. I decided to leave them hanging outside and then when I woke up the next morning, they'll be mostly dry. Success! When I got up, the sun was up and they were mostly dry.

Last weekend we had to work on Saturday and I couldn't do much laundry I did a few loads and put them out to dry. I decided that my genius plan worked once so I'd try it again. Our drying rack was completely full and when I went to bed I checked the weather and it said 20% chance of rain which is really nothing here. I decided to sleep in for once but at around 6:20 AM I heard a sound that made me bolt straight up out of bed. Yup, raindrops! By the time I got downstairs it was pouring rain and Alex helped me bring in the clothes and we hung them up inside. Of course the rain stopped and it turned out to be a nice day and I was able to put the clothes back outside to dry...again! Mr. Genius I'm not!
