So tonight I was out driving returning some DVDs and running a few errands. Then I received a phone call from my Kyoto Sensei (Vice Principal) saying that him and a few other teachers were going out to eat some Yakiniku. So of course, since I hadn't eaten yet, I took up the offer and met them at a restaurant.
When I got there, I realized that it was a restaurant that my buddy and I stopped at and considered going into, but didn't because we saw the menu and it was....well....$$$$$ (pricey)! Haha. Well, I figured why not, it will be a good time and obviously good food! Well, when I got there, I met up with the other teachers and we instantly started ordering meat....lots of meat. It was mainly Kalbi, which is a cut of meat. Very delicious and tender. So we got lots of plates of this...I mean, at least 5 LARGE plates of the meat to grill!
I also had a dish of raw meat with an egg on top...sounds like salmonella frenzy, right? I know...but had to give it a try. It's called "Yuke" and is a dish that is definitely more common in Japan than in America. I think people in America would die of shock before they would even try even it if they had to. It was tasty and I'd had it before, but this tasted better than before.
After plates and plates of meat and goodness, I'd had enough food and was done...out for the count. I had the meat, rice, kimchi, some type of cheese stuffed flour thing...I don't really know what it was, squid, and vegetables. I could say that I'd eaten enough to last me a few days. Well, thank you, Kyoto Sensei! It was a delicious meal!
Today's day of classes went pretty well. The students have exams tomorrow, so I didn't have a whole lot to do today. It was mainly review for the exam, so I walked around the classroom helping the students with anything they had questions on and the work they were doing. 4 classes in all...I'm glad I have these chill days once in awhile. Especially since some other days are hectic and super busy, so it's nice to have it balance out like this.
Well, I'm full and tired, so it's time to get some sleeeeeeep.....zzzzzz
