On Saturday we couldn't go out because there was a Typhoon (tie-foon). Well sort of a typhoon it wasn't a big one it just rained and rained and rained. I thought it would never end. Did you know that in the eye of the typhoon (the centre) there is virutally no wind, the rain is really light and the light is green? Hmm. Don't ask me why, I'll have to look it up and get back to you on that one. Dad was really desperate to watch the rugby match between the Wallabies and the All Blacks so he went out to find a pub that showed it. He came home disappointed because the closest pubs weren't showing the match. Mum started flicking though the channels (I wasn't happy I was trying to watch an episode if NCIS that I hadn't seen) and she found the rugby. Dad was sooooooo annoyed because he walked for one hour in the pouring rain and got soaked (poor Dad). On Sunday the skies cleared up which was good because we were going out for lunch with some of our old friends Mari and Nao (ma-ree and na-oh). They used to babysit me and my brother when we lived in Tsukuba (tsoo-koo-ba). They took us to a Katsu (cut-soo) place. Katsu is basically deep-fried pork. The name of the restruant we went to was called Kimukatsu. After we went to the Katsu place we went out for Japanese ice-cream. I had Nashi (na-she) sorbet and Macha (ma-cha). Nashi is a type of Japanese pear and Macha is green tea. The ice-cream was really nice. My mum had Kabocha (ka-bo-cha) flavored ice-cream. Kabocha is Japanese for... Pumkin. I tried a little bit of it, but I wouldn't say it was my favourite type of ice-cream.
Well, that's all for now,
Chloe.

The fried pork sounds okay to me. Probably fattening though. A typhoon sounds as thought it was a cyclone. Could you please find out why it is called a typhoon in Asia, a hurricane in America and a cyclone in Australia? I have often wondered about that. There is no startling news here, jsut the usual. - Colleen's bum seems to be getting bigger.
ReplyDeleteYou're Grandfather's imagination is very active!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI liked the sound of the food you had on Sunday. Who cares if it is fattening. Just don't eat mountains of it every day! The pumpkin ice cream sounds interesting, is it anything like pumpkin pie?
Did you remember Mari and Nao? I'll bet they were pleased and surprised to see you both again and to be able to have a real conversation with you. Did you speak with them in English or Japanese?
Ooh katsu, yummy. You have reminded me I want to cook chicken katsu!
