A Japanese day So. Cali

I spent the day with my mom doing some Japanese things.  First we went to a Japanese supermarket to buy some food.  My mom bought some Japanese cosmetics at the market and I was able to take some photos of the kitty glasses with hello kitty herself :)  Then we went to a Korean market where I was able to get some side dishes that I missed.  Then we went for sushi.  It was nice to have some Japanese food again after 3 months of just European food. I wasn't really in the mood to take photos with people so I just stuck my glasses on props instead  :)

Fruit Picking So. California


Once every year my mother and her friends go to a friend's ranch to pick some fruit.  I happened to be home on the day of the event.  It was such a HOT day in Southern California.  33 C or 92 F.  It was too HOT!  My body was freaking out because it wasn't used to that kind of heat being in Europe for the past three months.  It was so nice being able to collect so much delicious fruit! I had been craving orange juice in the morning and boy was I able to make a LOT of it at the end of the day.  It was really nice being able to catch up with some family friends that I haven't seen in a LONG time.  What a great day!

Reunions and Halloween Barcelona, Spain

 I decided to go to Barcelona because I knew my very good friend Maria was studying there.  I had no idea I would be able to catch up with three other people as well.  Two I met while teaching in Korea and the other friend is someone I have known since I was in kindergarten and haven't seen in ten years. It was so great to catch up with everyone.  I thought that Halloween would be more of a big thing than it actually was in Barcelona.  Despite this I had a great time with my friends.
