Two Firefly Sundays ago, we went to Mukanna’s pad for yakiniku. They were all kinds of excited ‘cuz they got a grill and so they wanted to try it out. We also watched Surf’s Up which was surprisingly good.
Tonight we went out for sushi and I gotta say it was wicked good. It was the kaitenzushi that was on Dotombori, the same chain that’s by the house. That place is usually hit or miss for me, but tonight it was grand. I was quite happy.
Steve and I followed Mike and Anna back to the pad to watch Happy Feet — we’d intended to watch it the same night as yakiniku but ended up not having enough time. I think I like Surf’s Up more, but both movies have planted the idea that I want a penguin.
I’ve also decided that I like the public transportation in Japan. I mean, I’ve always liked it, but I took the bus tonight and it was quite easy. I didn’t feel uncomfortable at all and it made me think about Chicago and how I would never feel as comfortable.
Japan certainly has its moments.
Next Sunday: Serenity Anniversary Sunday
I generally liked the buses better as well. There’s something about taking it in Japan that feels slightly more comfortable…or safer in Japan. I was thinking about how I actually feel more comfortable on the streets in general. I never understood the awe Americans had when comparing it to the States. I do now.
