some anecdotes: *As Jerod and I passed all the seniors waiting to enter the gym, they FREAKED OUT seeing him. It was a GREAT reaction.
*After graduation was over (the ceremony - it's SUPER formal), all the second and first grader's heads swiveled to stare at Jerod. He was chafing under all the eyes I believe. More than 400 eyes.
*At the kimono shop, the ladies were going crazy over us. I couldn't find a kimono I LOVED, but I found one that I thought was pretty cool. They marked it down for us! (It was a little stained.) They upsold Jerod to a more formal kimono (it's really nice) and knocked TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS off the price. It may be something they do for everyone... but we felt pretty special. Then they threw in a gift of an obi to use as a table runner and another little clasp thing to go with Jerod's kimono. They were SO sweet!
*When we got dinner, I asked for a 10 (spicy level) and Jerod got a three. He said his was spicy and I said maybe they mixed ours up since I couldn't taste mine. I had him taste mine even though he resisted at first. Ya... mine was WAY spicier (to normal tongues) and he was fairly upset with me. In my defense, I really DID think they mixed them up! Sorry babe!
*Just have to say, KARAOKE WAS SO FUN!!
XOXO, A

Our lunch - be jealous! (Jerod had fried oyster and noodles, and I had curry.) |
Jerod was surrounded by Japanese mother hens - soo cute and so funny! (Sorry Jerod, got you while you blinked.) |
