My dad's entertaining a couple of business clients from japan, so while he brings them around town - to build relationships, as he says - my family get to follow him around too. In other words, free time at the mall, attractions and such and dining at great restaurants :3 It's really interesting to be with them, cos the jap people are really expressive. And every time they sample good food, they'll nodding their head and go "Mm...Oishii!" Not to mention that they're pretty friendly too =P At least i learnt a teeny-weeny bit of jap from the third lang ppl, so i could still introduce myself and say "i don't understand"...in japanese. xD Oddly, they liked the chilli crab and curry fish head here the most o.O Didn't know that they could take such spicy stuff, but then again, i guess their wasabe at home is even spicier, lol. Sadly, we didn't go to any japanese restaurant, partly cos i guess my dad wanted to show them our local culture (and not stuff that they could easily find back in japan), and also cos he doesn't really enjoy sushi himself that much, heh. Yeah, he's gone to narita (in japan) to meet these same business clients before, and said the the food there's pretty bland and quite average. D: They were nice enough to bring us a box of japanese cookies too, hehe. Though they're really nothing more than pastries with some sweet fillings inside - fake stuff, as Wei Qi - the jap 1337 who just returned from his 3-week exchange in hamamatsu - proclaims. Still, the packaging's cute and all, but too bad i don't have a camera to take a pic of it :( Ah well, shall look forward to the real stuff WQ bought for us in japan, snacks and all. Unagi pie ftw! And yeah, thanks in advance too. xD |
