Dinner at a Sushi Bar

After the university visit, we took a 35 minute bus ride to Tokaimura, the city that my group of 19 teachers will be in for the next week. After checking into our hotel, the Crystal Palace, we had the evening to ourselves. A group of 7 of us went out exploring and found a great sushi bar that we stayed at for hours. I actually had some great different types of sushi and other dishes. The picture I attached below is of the group in front of the restaurant after dinner. The reason for the peace signs is because it seems that all Japanese students do that whenever you take their picture. It was a great evening that was culminated with us finding a supermarket and doing some browsing of Japanese groceries. After all of that we made it back to the hotel for the evening.

your trip sounds so exciting. the pictures are great! it is so wonderful hearing about all you are doing there and all you are seeing.

i loved reading about your experience with sushi. i am glad you kept trying different types. kevin and i love sushi. i am sure it is a bit different over there than it is in northern indiana :), but it is one of our favorite foods. we enjoy it when we can get it :)

is your time going fast? with all you are doing, i bet your time is flying by...but it seems like you are learning a lot and really taking the time to enjoy and experience japan!

can't wait to hear more of your travels. stay safe! jenn (and kevin)

I don't think I would like sushi. I don't even like raw shrimp! However, I am glad you are having all these experiences!!

Mr. Heiden, your sister is becoming quite the comedian! (I take it you go through the whole blog looking for comments.) Today your other sister arrives home. Let's see what comments she may have!! It is to get hot and steamy here this weekend. We will be inside SEWING! Tried a cake yesterday as a 4-H possibility. It has dried lavender in it!!
