The past couple of days, we were able up with two of Ana’s friends from college who happen to be living in Japan.
Mimi grew up in Japan, but went to high school and college in the US. She took us to the nicest dinner we’ve had in months at a trendy, sit-down restaurant. Without her, we would never have known to go to this place, nor would we have been able to read the menu, or order actual food.
Today, we took a train to Osaka and went out for sushi with Mimi. Sushi on a conveyor belt! Yummy!
Japan is so advanced in technology! After we finished our meal, the waiter had us stack our plates, which he then scanned with his handheld device, which calculated the total price and also printed a receipt! I was in awe!
We stayed in Osaka and met with Ana’s old housemate, Jenny, for dinner. She moved to Japan last year to teach here with the JET program. I salute her bravery for moving to a foreign country all by herself!
Despite the distance we are from California, we seem to have been able to connect with people from home in the different countries we’ve been visiting. It’s a small world after all. (Cheesy, sorry… Haha!)
