Mega Toast

3 more weeks of work. Heheee!

Had a slow weekend. We got around Okayama and did some shopping. Well, I would have done some shopping had I found anything I wanted to buy. I got sick unfortunately and so wasn't feeling much like partying really. Very quiet Saturday night then. We went out for dinner at some pizza place called Mario's or something and it was SHIT pizza. Didn't feel all that full after that so moved on for the second course at another place and then had toast at yet another place. So it was an impromptu progressive dinner. The toast probably needs explanation since it's not usually the first choice when dining out. In Japan restaurants often have the menu in plastic form behind a window out the front. We saw on one plate a HUGE piece of toast. It was basically the same size as your average house brick. We had to have it. We went in, ordered, only to be told that it was sold out! NO! We looked so disappointed that the girl felt compelled to go into the kitchen and double check. It turned out that they did have one piece left so we had our house brick toast after all! It was foul. A huge chunk a white fluffy bread with fake honey (they call it honey syrup - honey with sugar water mixed into it) and butter. We have photos, they'll make it up later on I'm sure.

So that was the Saturday evening excitement. My neighbour had invited us to a party, but we just felt too bushed to enjoy it properly so we just went home and crashed. Sunday was spent doing some more window shopping in AEON shopping mall and watching a horrid film. I guess the lesson learned there is that if the movie is discounted, there's probably a reason for it! This morning Miss BV set off for Oz again :( Now I'm all lonely again. But not for too long. I'm almost ready to pack myself. Still don't have plane tickets though. Not for lack of trying. According to my travel agent, she can't tell me the price of tickets until it's less than a month til my flight. And I certainly can't pay for it until at least a week before I fly. I don't know what the story is there but it seems pretty odd. I just want the tickets in my hand now! Apparently I can leave work on March 27th and I might take advantage of that I think....
