Bonjour - A random blabbering today


Last night was a Berlitz summer party for staff and students.
We went to a French restaurant called Deuxieme. It was nice although French restaurants are not known for their veggie options... It was a little strange eating 'French' food with chopsticks! Afterwards we headed to an Australian bar where we witnessed the destruction of Englands world cup dreams and I spoke to a local Brazilian guy about repairing engines. I was completely in my element - football and cars ;)

This morning I tried a new Fanta flavour, Melon Cream Soda, and it wasn't bad. It doesn't beat Pepsi Red, my latest favourite non-alcoholic beverage. The combination of Pepsi and Cinammon works for me! I also purchased some shochu made with a herb called perilla giving it a nice taste and a crazy name, "Tantakatan". Our fruit liqueur hasn't gone mouldy yet and is already looking quite appetising..........

This week we watched Chronicles of Narnia (or Narunia as it is known in these parts) and it was a fairly bland but watchable film. We also watched Troy which was a bit pants but again passed the time. I think I should be a film reviewer... Tonight we will either watch Tristram Shandy or Everything is Illuminated. Keep visiting for my insightful and entertaining opinions on the world of cinema...

howdy - my colleage and your brother just pointed me here...

just spent 2 weeks in Kansai and points west, and I have to say that melon cream fizzy drinks were our #2 choice for a source of summer electrolytes (#1 I think were the asahi reds&blues...)
