Miso Kit Kat

For our friend Nana's birthday we went to a Mongolian themed restaurant in Shin Sakae. We had a great time, and the food was really good too! While we were there we tasted Miso Kit Kat, but not before being taken aside by restaurant staff and dressed up in Mongolian costumes. Check out the video:

Salt and Caramel Kit Kat

Here's another Kit Kat: salt and caramel flavor. I could only find this version in the version of bite-size minis, but they are really good. There is a slightly salty flavor, but the caramel overpowers it, yet without making it too sweet. I also got some more of my students to try some, and they really liked them! Here's a short video of my kids taste-test:

Blind Pictionary









This week we played blind pictionary in my high school English class. But, I didn't have a handkerchief or anything similar suitable to use as a blindfold, so I improvised. I taped paper to my giant Jackie O-esque sunglasses and had my students wear them as drew--they had a good time, and we all got a kick out of how silly we looked wearing the glasses. They were good enough to pose for me too! They're so cool.

Fukui Beach Trip

This video is also a bit overdue--Yuki took Jen, Marlow and I to Fukui prefecture, in Northern Japan. We went to Crystal Beach, saw a couple of strange things while we were there, but we had a really great time! The weather was great, and the beach itself was pretty nice--though crowded. We could also see a nuclear power plant right across from the beach! It was a little weird, but no one else seemed to be too concerned...anyway, check out this video of our trip:
