Tripping Far Side

Had a fun day yesterday hanging out with Allison, Gareth, and Laura in Akashi.

First, Allison introduced us to an awesome all-you-can-eat meat barbeque (yakiniku) for lunch. We were so stuffed; right Gareth!?

Meat is pretty expensive here and you don't usually get to eat a lot of it, so it was a nice change. Ah, carnivores again! And it was great because it was only 1300 yen ($11.41)!! Allison made me a better and happier person not just for that day, but for every week to come. :D

Then we hit the local Starbucks, and then to bowling! Had a fun little competition for the second round when I teamed up with Laura versus Allison and Gareth. That was when Laura pushed me to get an awesome score (hahahaha): 188!

Good thing about bowling is that it's the same as the US--well, except for the fact that you get bowling shoes from a vending machine.
