Hanging out in Yokohama
Some friends of ours are here in japan with us. Steven works with jon and was also sent out for four months. His wife, Jill, came along too and knows a bit of Japanese. Jill’s friend, Sayo, and Sayo’s boyfriend, Toshi, have been helping us quite a bit with finding an apartment and adapting to japanese life. Okay. Introductions are done.
This is Jill. Jill and I were getting some late night snacks from the 7-11 across the street.
Jon and I went exploring in the morning and found a mochi cream counter. The girl that worked there was SUPER nice and even posed for a picture! It was like, boutique mochi. SO good. I think it was possibly worth the $3 per mochi. 
And then we met Sayo and Toshi for lunch and had a Japanese take on Chinese food. Very good. A lot of menus seem to do picture menus, which is exciting. After lunch, Sayo took us to the 100 Yen store (dollar store) to get some necessities for the house. It was furnished, but didn’t have things like a spatula or towels. The dollar store was crazysauce. Like JAPANESEOMGSTUFFISEVERYWHERE style.
You kids from Seattle – you know in the bottom floor of West Lake center there’s a crazy Japanese store where everything is about a dollar? I *think* it’s the same company. Next time you’re downtown, can you peek for me?
Woo! Yokohama!
