We went to visit Yuri's family the weekend before my birthday (Oct. 25th) and had a nice sukiyaki dinner together. It was my first time meeting another person in Yuri's family, and they were really great hosts to Johnny and I.
On friday we all went bowling and to a bar, both up the street from the Takekabu's residence. I wish I could have lived down the street from a bowling alley growing up! "Bar Moon Walk" is where we drank, and all the drinks were only 200 yen (about $2.50) all night! Some of Yuri's childhood friends met us there. It was her friend Naoko's birthday on the 23rd so Naoko and I were surprised with a delicious strawberry short-cake with our names on it! It was very thoughtful and I greatly enjoyed it. We stayed out pretty late, and had plans to meet Timur @ Dōtonbori in Shinsaibashi the next day.
Saturday morning Yuri's mother cooked us a great pancake breakfast: compete with egg and mini-hot dog's for sausage. It was a delight! We left at mid-day and met Timur and his russian friend Natalia. The rest of the day was spent checking in and out all the good shops in the area. The most memorable of these being Don Quijote, where we did a small photo shoot using Timur's high-tech camera and store objects. Some really great photo's were taken that day.
It was our Birthday!!!
These pictures were well worth the 5 minutes it took us to to get the light working.
