The hilliest place on Earth
New Companion:
So has anyone seen that movie the last
samurai? Well I testify that is a lie and Tom Cruise was not the last. My
companion is. Yamamoto choro stands about 5 11, buff as they come, perfectly
calm and well mannered, and as physically tuff as a samurai. He is way into biking, is
waaay into cooking, wants to become a chef, can do those two finger pushups I
talked about, loves to work, and is a diehard missionary. Pretty much when I
come home I will be all buff, can make super good Japanese food, and you can
punch me in the face and I wont even feel it. All of which I will have learned
from him.
Fun Food Fact
So this week because I am who I am I wanted
to beat my dad in a competition. He hooked me up with a picture of some maple
chocolate bacon ice cream and I say well played. But top this - normally all
you can ever find are the three basics: vanilla, chocolate, and str... green tea.
hahah But that is not a good story (but seriously green tea ice cream is
everywhere). I went to a buffet and got all the flavors with out reading what
they were and I ended up pounding a ton of these two flavors that were super
weird and not weird at all to Japanese people. The first was corn and straight
up it tasted like a frozen can of corn. The other was sesame. It was black
and tasted straight up like I was eating frozen sesame oil. The weirdest
part was I kind of liked it. I say again both are super normal!
Culture Point
When you are in the kitchen or the
bathroom you wear slippers and take them off when you leave. Super weird and
important.
Spiritual Thought
I have found the power of a personal
inventory with God in prayer. Set goals that way and they tend to be more
righteous, more powerful, and you have more drive, power, and faith in them. God
wants to help you achieve your righteous desires!
Funny Story
So I am at that same buffet. I am eating
all sorts of super odd foo; I get a little of all the soups, fried things,
ice creams, breads, sushi's, fish, pastries (they have awesome
pastries) and then I come to the meat. It's an all you can eat place so I just
pile it on. I look at this old couple at the table next to me and they have just
tons ands tons of these two types of meat. Old people love buffets so I figure
they come a lot and knew what was the best so I pile on tons of what they are
eating. I take it back to the table and throw it on the grill (long story for
another time but you cook your meat in the middle of the table) and the member
we are with is kind of giving me the weird eyes. It smells pretty good so I don't
know what his problem is... he probably just thinks "wow Americans are super fat
and love meat". He asks me if I like.... and then some word I don't know but he
points at the meat so I say "oh yeah I love it!". Then I tried the darker one and
all of the sudden knew what on of the words meant: liver. Japanese and
American liver tastes the same if anyone was wondering. The lighter one was
the chewiest piece of flesh I have ever put in my mouth. It took me like 5
minutes to chew every piece. When I asked him to explain where it came from on
the animal in simple Japanese he told me it is what the poop is in. I think I
ate an entire cows intestine soaked in Japanese sauce and I liked it.
Love each other for me!

(hopefully I will have more time next
week)
