Sadly today was a lazy day and I spent most of it washing clothes and cleaning up my room whilst getting in and out of bed. I usually hate lazy days but I'm finding them a requirement these days since I'm always so busy during the week.
In the evening I had decided to cook home made pizzas since it was kind've impossible to find a decent one in any of the local stores. Let's just say that whilst the pizzas did taste nice, they didn't look very aesthetically pleasing which many of you guys were keen to let me know... :( I will one day make a cooking video because with our available facilities, you really do have to improvise and it leads to some hilarious moments. Those of you that have been on Skype with me when I have cooked will surely agree with me. But anyway; here are the pizzas!
After eating we returned to our lazy day.However, our lazy day was interrupted when we got an unexpected phone call on our house phone. I really need to figure out how to answer this phone properly as I usually just answer and say "hello?" which isn't a good thing to do when you're in a foreign country. Either way, it turns out that there were people at the Guten Tag restaurant who were inviting us out for a late dinner and drinks. I looked at the clock and saw it was 20:30, already sort've late. HOWEVER! It is the Guten Tag and like mad men we got 'dressed' and ran out the door charging towards the delicious food.
We had a great time in the Guten Tag as usual and talked about many things ranging from things about to Japan to things about our home countries. All of which lead to some language barriers, specifically when we talk about sarcasm, an art that is sadly not recognized in Japan. Also the examples used for sarcasm by the women we were talking to were hilarious. They were literally using the example phrase: "You look so sexy." This definitely had me close to tears by the end of the night.
We finally left at around 23:00 which probably wasn't a good idea since we have a big day out at Sapporo tomorrow but it was definitely worth it. As usual they treated us to the dinner which did make me feel a little guilty but I am so grateful to everyone who has shown me kindness in Toya.
That's all for now, thanks for reading and drop me a note if you want one of my pizzas! ;)
