Dinner at Natale Museum
Friday September 14, 2007
Tonight I finished work at 6:30, but instead of hopping on the train and going home my teachers took me out to dinner. I we excited to go because we were in Fukuyama, the city that I commute to, so I never spent time there besides at the schools. We drove for a little while and even though it was dark, it was beautiful. We were right next to a lot of water. The way the lights from the city reflected in the water was gorgeous. The 5 year old teacher was driving, Mika. She is this tiny girl, so cute and quiet, but she drives fast! I didn’t think she had it in her.

When we got to the restaurant called Nalate Museum, it looked pretty cool from the outside so I knew it was going to be great…I just had that feeling.
We went inside and it was really trendy and modern. It was like a lot of places at home. I liked it a lot. They had already determined the menu so that was nice; it was a huge variety of everything. The food started coming and kept coming! There was salad, pork tenderloin and bean sprouts, shrimp, sausages, french fries, shrimp pasta, pizza with rice, cheese, and seaweed, and this chicken that was wrapped in cabbage topped with some tomato sauce, served with broccoli and green beans. I sampled some of the food but I didn’t taste everything. There was SO much! At the end, they brought out dessert. It was so pretty! There was some ice cream and on top was a heart shaped cookie, then there was some grapefruit jello (they call it jelly), and some chocolate cake topped with whipped cream and fruit. I took a picture for you!
I passed this up. What will power!!!We had a great time at dinner, talking and laughing. My teachers love hearing about my family and friends. They want you all to visit so that they can meet you. We had been sitting there forever having a great time when Mika jumped up and told me it was time for us to go to my train. Everyone started pulling out money and I asked how much I owed and they told me that it was a present. I insisted that I pay but they said no. The people here are just so sweet. I love them so much. They take amazing care of me and treat me so well. I hope that one day I can repay them if they ever want to take a trip to America!
