Japan VS America

Here are just a few differences I have noticed:

THE FLOOR

THE LIGHTSWITCH


THE SILVERWARE


THE DRYER


THE PROXIMTY OF HOUSING


THE FUN BUTTONS ON THE POTTY


THE TRANSPORTATION


THE HUGE CLOSET FOR STORING SHOES.............NEVER NEVER NEVER WEAR SHOES IN THE HOUSE..........EVER


THE KEYBOARD


THE GARAGE


THE FOOD (YAKISOBA)


THE DRIVER'S SIDE


THE RICE


THE ROOTS.....THAT YOU EAT


THE ONIONS


THE KETCHUP....NOT IN A PACKET


THE ART (ORIGAMI)


THE MONEY


THE YARD


THE SWEET POTATOES


THE CARROTS


THE BATHS


THE LETTERS/LANGUAGE

.....AND THAT'S JUST THE START! :D

All About Nathan

Nathan doesnt go to school yet, so we get lots of time together in the mornings. One day, we rode around on the bike and found 10 different parks! We have a lot of fun :)

Happy Birthday B!

Dear Brad, I'm sorry that I cant be with you on your birthday :( But....in memory of turning 26, here is a birthday day cake for you! It's actually pounded rice mixed with edible grass filled with sweet beans! Heeheehee:) Love you mole man!



Fun Stuff
So, we went to this AWESOME place called "Sweets Paradise"....a dessert buffet! Tasty morsels! This green melon soda is one of my favorites!


The place had really cool light fixtures!


The wall paper was really funky too


Did I mention they had Coffee Jello? Something i did NOT like. EW!


Then we went to this arcade place where this drum game (Taiko no Tatsujin) is popular. It was really fun!


Yes, they have bowling in Japan.....its exactly the same except for the names are in Japanese of course;) My name is number 1: cashii (カシー)




On Saturday, we had a okonomiyaki feast at church! Japanese pancakes! They are made of shrimp, octopus, cabbage, eggs, special flour, special poatatoes, and special sauce (okonomiyaki sauce) for on top. The white sauce is mayo, the green sprinkles are seaweed, and the brown shaving are dried flakes of fish. TASTY! 


I LOVE the kids here. This is Yuka.

This is Shotaro giving me a kiss.....more like a bite actually!


There was also some intense action when I was taught how to Sumo. You start out squatting, then when your fists touch the ground, it begins. You try to throw the other person out of the ring or onto the floor. If you touch the floor with anything other than your feet, then you lose too. It was violent and fun!
ahh......so much fun:D
