Sushi

some friends and i (specifically sarah, heidi, babs, and my roommate ian) go downtown to have some sushi at a local japanese sushi bar. well, it was ian’s first time having sushi, so i decided to educate him on the etiquette of sushi-eating. coming from hong kong, which is very near to japan (hong kong’s in china for those of u who don’t know. i thought it was in japan as well before i went there), japanese food is very popular. so i do know a lil bit. anyway, ian treated his tastebuds to sashimi sushi (raw salmon), tuna sushi, and white tuna sushi. surprisingly, he enjoyed it! not everyone reacts the same way to raw food that has a weird texture.

my second time coming here.

see how flash washes everything out? oh, i must say that downtown grand rapids is a very charming place, especially when it’s snowing. there are some pictures here. those pics are from an outing with our floor and our sister floor (3rd veenstra) during the summer.

oh, i met babs during the trip. she was our wonderful driver and oh so nice. driving in the snow is difficult, and she CRASHED her car…

...lightly into the wall when parking (made you click “read more”!). it was just a tap on the bumper. but, more pictures here!

my roommate ian trying some dragon roll!

goofing off while the stupid camera flash washes us out.

playing with the camera’s focus

charming decor, don’t u think?

went to blockbuster afterwards as the girls bought movies to watch when they returned. meanwhile, i spend my friday evening doing music theory homework. im taking music theory for interim and it’s fantastic! i learned about chord harmony to notes today, which is super useful when i have a melody in my head and i want to accompany it with chords. perfect for songwriting!!
