Yummy!

When we got to Japan, there were so many good restaurants with food such as ramen, yakitori, which is like meat on a skewer, sushi, dumplings, tempura, and curry. There were lots of ramen places, but my favorite type of ramen was tonkatsu. The yakitori was also really good because there were so many types of meat, and the chefs even walked us out of the door! The sushi was delicious, and my favorite types of fish were salmon and tuna. We actually got to see the tuna being sold! There were raw ones, big ones, small ones, and frozen ones. There were lots of dumplings, but they were all called gyoza. The tempura place was super good, and they were super nice. They even gave us Pokemon stickers because they saw our Pokemon stuffies! There was also the curry which was really good because the rice went perfectly with the yummy sauce. There was also fried meat or fried shrimp with the curry and once there was a curry soup with noodles. 




We got some bento boxes for the Shinkansen!

    Today is Jan. 5th and this is the first time I read your blog which you apparently decided to resume posting after several months of silence. That looks like a real feast and way too much for four peeps. So, I am happy to be following your posts again!

The Temple with Monks and Nuns

Image
By Bryce Mommy and I woke up at five and finished packing up. We left the Paradise Hotel and had to walk in the rain to get to the metro. Then, we rode the metro to a stop, where we got off and walked to the train station. But then we had to wait because Mommy thought she forgot the tickets but then the people in the information center found them for her. Then, we got on the train and I played Minecraft where I mined some sheep. I also watched Star Wars Visions and Arcane. Then, we got off, and took a bus to the town near the temple and then we got a ride from a driver in a van. We went to our room and set up our mattresses. We couldn’t figure out why the key card wasn’t locking the door but later we found out that you need to insert a battery that they provided into the lock. So after that, we went to another building and watched two videos about the monks. After that, we went upstairs and a guy named Mr. Kim taught us about Buddhism and we made necklaces out of one hundred and eight

A regular day by Bryce

     Here’s what I do on a regular day at the cottage. First, I wake up at around eight to nine. Then I start doing my thirty minutes of the math workbook that Mommy got for me. Depending on when Mommy gets up to make breakfast, I either do my thirty minutes of my world history book, or do it after breakfast. After I finish my math and my history book, I get to play thirty minutes of Prodigy. Prodigy is a math game where you battle with magical spells and catch monsters. Sometimes I also have to do a blog post like this one. We usually eat lunch at the cottage, but sometimes we go out to eat. Sometimes we go out to the store, called Pick ‘N’ Pay to buy ingredients. Then, we have to exercise. We do twenty push-ups a day, and either swim laps in the pool or run. The pool is very cold because it is not heated. Then I can play Pokémon or Minecraft. During the day, when we have nothing else to do, we build pillow forts and play around with pillows. We have dinner, and on special occasions,

All on my own

Kyusik and the boys left about two hours ago, so I am all alone in the cottage now. We managed to do one last lunch at Gavas, the Zimbabwean restaurant that we really enjoyed once already.  Their slogan is "sadza with soul." They have lots of outdoor seating, and it's very family friendly. The last time we were there, there was a bouncy house that the boys used. We ordered the whole grilled bream (fish) again because we liked it so much, as well as a roadrunner (chicken) stew, and half of a grilled chicken with chips. The dishes all come with a side of sadza (maize meal similar to polenta), the equivalent of collard greens, and sugar beans. They also bring a little container of house-made spicy sauce. You only need a tiny dollop because it's so hot! Once your dishes arrive, they come by with a metal pitcher of soapy water and a bowl so that they can pour water over your hands to clean them.  Afterwards, Kyusik wanted to drive downtown. There's not a whole lot to s
