Japanese Mexican-American Food?

Last night Eriya, Shinya and I went to Coco's for dinner (yup, the same chain from the southwestern United States). Shinya said he thinks it's one of the only restaurants around here where you can get taco salad. I had to try it! I was kind of craving Mexican food a while back, so I ordered the salad and quesadillas. (And yes, I realize that those are not REAL Mexican food-I actually spent a couple of minutes explaining what "TexMex" meant.) Well, the taco salad had no cheese, which was disappointing to me because I've been wanting cheese a lot lately (a food that has only limited varieties here), but other than that it was pretty good!

Tonight Shinya and I went to Saizeriya, an Italian food chain, for dinner. I had double cheese pizza and salad with cheese on top. Did I happen to mention that I've been missing having lots of cheese? (Sorry to a certain cheese-despising friend at church in Portland!)

Tomorrow I'm going on a school trip with the high school students to a park near the coast. I've heard that it's kind of a small amusement park and kind of a nature park, so I'm not sure what to expect. I heard a rumor that there might be a small roller coaster there . . . We also might have a chance for a quick stop by the ocean, but I was told that the ocean in that area isn't really that scenic. My report and pictures will be coming soon to a blog near you.
