A Lovely Day

Today was a lovely day. A really, really lovely day. : )

I slept in for a good long while, and then went shopping with my friend and supervisor at work! She has really awesome English-she’s lived and visited abroad a great deal and visited a lot of countries. I really enjoy talking with her, not only because of her English, but because she’s so friendly! I think we have similar personalities and maybe we have a lot in common. She picked me up at the train station and we drove forty minutes to the mall. It was a big mall, but not quite big enough to house any stores I had heard of before! Actually, there was one-Eddie Bauer. I thought that was surprising! Most of the stores were small and you could walk the circumference in about 30 seconds, so we got to go into a lot of different little stores. It was really fun!

After shopping, we visited my friends house and I got to meet her Mom, Grandma, and dog-Keita. They were very nice. : )

Finally, we went out to eat at a “chicken restaurant”. :D Not really, but there was a lot of chicken there and it came in many different varieties. We had lettuce in a yummy dressing, salad mixed up with raw egg, cheese roll things, raw chicken (haha!!), and two types of chicken on a stick. I really loved it all! It was delicious and I felt a little more Japanese just eating it (especially the raw variety!).
