Drivers Lisence/ Japan Post #4
I finally took my drivers test yesterday. I absolutley hate driving, so I'd been avoiding it as long as I could, but I knew it really needed to be done before I left for college. By some miracle, I passed! I was so nervous that I could hardly write my signature afterwards because my hands were shaking so much, hehe ^^; I'm just glad it's over with and I never have to do it again.
Okay, now the final post on Japan. On our last night there, the Melton's took us out to eat at a traditional Japanese restaurant. I never heard what it was called, but it was absolutely awesome. The tables were low, and there were zabutons to sit on over a straw mat floor. They had paper sliding doors and windows as well. I ordered cheese pocky and it was so good! I really don't care for Japanese food, but this is an exception. I didn't like the green tea, and I wouldn't even touch the miso soup XD A few people ordered eel and said it was actually really good. Okay, now for some pictures.
Yes, this is a squid, and yes, someone ate it. It came with a little grill that he could cook it on. A few people tried it and said it really wasn't too bad, but you'd never get me to eat it lol.
And one last big group shot.
After having a great time at the restaurant, we went to a nearby mall to get some Baskin Robins ice cream. There was a Disney store right next to it (Disney stuff is very popular in Japan) and there was a little section of Miyazaki merchandise. I bought a little Totoro plushie and keychain. They are so cute ^^
We said our goodbyes and left the next morning for Nagoya airport. I already miss everyone so much! I really hope I can see them all again someday. It took a while to get through the airport because we bought some souvenir samurai swords that had to be thoroughly inspected. We got them home, though - they are so cool! Pastor Melton knew someone that made them so we were able to buy them for a really good price.
The flights went smoothly and we got home without any problems, aside from extreme tiredness. I had the hardest time staying awake during the drive home from Buffalo. I didn't have a convenient place to mention this earlier, but I did get to see some monkeys in Japan. This is the best picture I managed to get:
They only came out of the woods once while I was there. They were noisy, and pretty big! I was really glad I got to see them.
Okay, I'd better stop there. If anyone has questions about the Missions trip, feel free to ask! Thanks again for reading another long post ^^; Ja mata!
