Day 10: postcards home and steak

I can not find post cards anywhere here. Nowhere. So I can’t send any home as by the time we get to Kyoto we will have only a week to go. So here are our postcards home:

Dear mum and dad,

I am dead.

(Please imagine I have drawn a little arrow between am and dead and written not. Hahaha I am hilarious).

Love, B

Dear Grandma and Kaye,
Today I stayed in bed as my lunch from yesterday decided it wanted to revisit. It must have really liked me as it revisited allllll night and most of the day. Despite this we went out for dinner tonight and I had amazing Japanese steak. We saw a cat in the snow tonight. I was very worried about how it would cope – do they have special snow mittens for cats? They should!

Love, Melissa xoxo

Postcard duty – check!

Some photos from today. Me being a dope in the snow outside our restaurant with my adorable dalek beanie:

B discovered a children’s TV show which had a Japanese gumby on it! We named him Jumby. Then he made me watch the show for half an hour….

Our dinner tonight was at Steak Rosso Rosso which is very touristy but renowned for amazing steak, we got the last free table. Although I was still feeling a bit yuck I decided I might as well enjoy the meal and hope for the best. I’m glad I went, the steak was unbelievably good and they give you a hot stone on the plate to cook each bite with if it isn’t cooked to your preference. So I ordered medium steak for the first time ever and mmmm it was good. A few glasses of ginger beer seems to have helped settle my stomach and the dinner has so far been a success. Although the food was amazing I kind of miss the Japanese restaurants where people are quieter and a bit less…obnoxious. Damn Australians!
