Food

Sorry for not posting for such a long time here.

Everything is great here in Kyoto. Classes have been going on for 3 weeks now, I have gotten used to spending at least 2 hours a day studying for my Japanese class, but I still haven't been able to adapt to one of the other classes. The deal here is that every weekday we have Japanese language class for two hours from 9am-12noon (with 1 hour of self-study), and then everyone of us is supposed to take two of the afternoon classes. I decided to pick Kansai Area Arts and Japanese History Through Film (unfortunately, they did not offer any Compsci or Math. Go figure!). The arts class has been fun this far, but the history one is a bit intimidating. We have to read several hundred pages each week, but there is just not enough time to go to class, sleep, eat, pretend to be a tourist, and then study.

During the less than a month that I have spent in Japan, I have managed to go to a couple of places in Kyoto (there are a lot more important places that I have not gone to), visited Nara (and the deer! A separate post is necessary for that), had Kaitenzushi, sung at a Karaoke, and other things (I tend to forget).

So, to compensate for the long period of time without a blog entry, here are pictures of some of the food that I have eaten here. Most of it has been extremely tasty, maybe except for the natto sushi roll and kareenikuudon.

In Kaitenzushi shop, sushi comes to YOU!





Warning! If you see sushi with brownish grainy stuff on the top, it might be natto. Proceed only if you enjoy natto.








Kitsune Udon - that is tofu skin on top. Tasty!



Meat Udon!



Udon with mochi





Curry Udon - not as good as I hoped it would be.



Donburimono!







Green tea ice cream!






This was the hamburger menu. I couldn't find the hamburger though.

















After devouring 11 plates of sushi.



The end!
