A Japanese Sunday



On Sunday, Adam, Morgan, and I went to the Minobu-san Temple. Its this cool old temple at the top of, like, two-hundred stairs. At the base, there is a little, old street with suvenior shops and stuff. Morgan and I bought wooden Kendo swords. Afterwards, Adam took us to this little restaurant in my town (because his Japanese is so good, he can do a lot more exploring, and he’s been to every little hole-in-the-wall restaurant in the area). The food was really good. I even tried horse meat. Yeah, the Japanese eat horses. Weird. It tasted just like beef. Then, we went to Morgan’s and they showed me a Japanese TV show where a comedian tries to beat classic Nintendo video games in one sitting. It took him, like, 14 straight hours to beat Super Mario Bros. 2 and way longer to beat Ghosts and Goblins. The guy’s kinda bad at video games and sometimes his younger assistants have to help him beat things (they even coach him on strategies using a white board).
