Back From Kobe

I’m back from an evening in Kobe trying on clothes for the wedding. We went over to the wedding place and had lots of talks and discussions about the various decisions we’ll be making in the near future, and we also got to let loose in the dressing room and try on different clothes.

Kuniko of course looked just beautiful in the dresses she wore, and picked out a couple to wear. I tried on a couple of suits, and I think I found one that I like. Choosing between gold and pink is tough, and the blue ones were really nice. I’m not entirely sure, so next time they are going to help me decide.

We spent about two hours playing around in there, and then we went into Sannomiya to have some ramen at a restaurant that Kuniko wanted to introduce me to. It was really good – the ramen I had was in a shrimp/salt broth, and it had a couple of shrimp wontons floating in there. Yum!

After dinner we shopped around a little to burn some calories, and then we had a couple of parfaits for dessert. It was the first time for me to have a parfait in Japan. The stores that sell them have these giant plastic replicas in the window, and you can choose the one you want – the have lots of flavors. I settled on a chocolate one, and Kuniko had a tiramisu flavored one. They were really good – like a milkshake on steroids.

Tomorrow is the last day of an easy week for me, and I don’t have much planned actually. I’m looking forward to relaxing a little bit and studying hard.
