First Day!

After we finally got up, we had breakfast that Naomi's dad made (he is in charge of breakfast and lunch everyday) which was clam miso soup, bowl of rice and some veggies. Actually, its the same thing everyday haha. But its very good.

Actually they think its to embarrassing if we take pictures of their food, so you wont see many. But Naomi managed to sneak that one in.

After that we lazed around the house then had lunch, which was toast and a salad. After lunch her mom took us out to do some shopping. We had a nice drive through country side as well, which was very beautiful. Funny how you can from seemingly downtown Victoria to the middle of Saskatchewan in about 10-15 minutes. Their hometown is right near Japan's largest lake as well, which we will go to at some point.

We headed to a big store..kinda Wallmartish. Basically the same as here..just much louder. Tons of little video screens on isles promoting stuff and yelling at you. You also have staff constantly yelling out "Irashaimase" randomly, which means Welcome/Welcome to our store. Some do it in very weird and strange voices too. Its veryyyy odd. I am still not used to it.

We went to the grocery the grocery store after where I couldn't stop finding amazing and cheap food. The seafood area was huge and full of fresh and many different kinds of seafood. They also made sushi and other foods as well you could get, kinda like Thrifty's...but of a much nicer quality. I was going nuts over all the snack foods and stuff you could get too. So cheap.... But everything is so much smaller than here. Portion wise anyway. We also found some Canadian Pork! Which we bought. Dunno what makes it Canadian other than..it was bigger than Japanese ones lol.

That night her parents took us out for sushi! Very exciting .

I was totally confused and lost as to what to order or what to get. The menus all being Japanese of course.

Since everyone got lots of food ill just explain what they are then put all the pics after.

1. Tuna Nigiri, Tuna Belly Nigiri, Better Tuna Belly Nigiri. Totally amazing. It has been ruined for me in Canada...

2. Karage! More of that "Japanese KFC" dad enjoyed. Quite good actually!

3. Sashimi plate. The red ones are Tuna, white one is Hamatchi, the fluffly looking one beside it is Hamo, the one with skin on it is Tai. Her dad got that one, and gave me some. All very good!!

4. This was a weird one called Otchazuke. Her dad got it..basically green tea with rice in it..but they put in sushi rolls instead of just rice. Just mix it and eat it.

After the great meal, her parents kept trying to get me to eat more. They didn't believe i could possibly be full (we had more food than pictured, but those were the best ones). On the way home her dad was trying to get her mom to drive us to a convenience store to buy me more food. Took about 10min till naomi convinced them I was ok. OI.
