YUM!

You've heard my complaint about not being able to find much Mexican food in Japan--there's no Taco Bell here (I know, that's not real Mexican food, but you know what I mean...). But the fast food restaurants that ARE in Japan do have some good things that they DON'T have in the States. I think I've mentioned that McD's has a teriyaki burger and a shrimp burger that are both pretty good (and people that have visited me have said they like the "Shaka-shaka fries"). Wendy's, though, definitely has McD's beat in the creativity department. On the menu, they have a special feature hamburger that changes seasonally. A few weeks ago I tried their curry burger (Japanese-style curry sauce on a cheeseburger with grilled onions) which was VERY tasty. Tonight I tried the newest special: the eggplant and spicy meat sauce cheeseburger! That might sound pretty strange, but it was REALLY good!

I'm still here . . .

Since getting back from my America vacation, it's been a little difficult for me to get back into my routine, so sorry for no recent blogging. I still need to finish my summer vacation entries from when Tim visited, and then post about my America trip--I'll get back to that after this short detour.

Earlier this week, we played a silly game in my preschool English class with funny costumes. ("Put on the hat." "Take off the glasses.") Here are two pictures of my youngest students.
