Sushi, cocktails and cleaning

The weekend just passed was just awesome. For one thing, it was a 3-day weekend, and for another, I got so much done, and got to hang out with a lot of different people.

On Saturday, I had one of those rare days where I get some magical burst of determination to get heaps of crap done. I made a yummy brekky, did two loads of laundry, washed my Mt. Everest pile of dishes, made my house look somewhat presentable, went to the gym to lift weights and run 5km on the treadmill, went to the library with Kayo and studied Japanese for an hour.

After so much work, I was greatly anticipating my evening. I met up for dinner and a big catch up with my lovely and gorgeous friend Megan. We went to Sushiro, which is a deeeliciousss sushi place with all sushi priced at Y105 ($1.20). I must admit, I'm not one of those people that crave sushi (I mean, I only started eating fish a couple of years ago after copping it constantly for being half-Japanese and not eating fish). But I crave the sushi here, so this was our second outing to Sushiro. At that price, obviously it's not gourmet cuts, but I love it nevertheless as I think the fish is fresh, flavours are full, selection of plates available is wide, and it's just a lot of fun! Unfortunately, a lot of other people think this as we had to wait a good hour! But, I'm pretty sure Megan and I could talk anywhere, so it wasn't a problem. And talk we did!

Delicious salmon sushi

Megan had to go home for a Skype date, so later that night I met with my new awesome friend, Monica. Yes, I've finally met another Monica! And yes, she is loud too so together we are a crazy mix! We wanted to try somewhere different to get a drink, and we found a super cute small bar in Miyakomachi, the night-life district. It had old-school music playing, a chilled out atmosphere, and only a 3 metre bar and one table. My kind of place!

I was sad to leave, but, the thought of only getting at most 6 hours sleep before my day trip to Fukuoka on Sunday kicked my butt into perspective!
