Yesterday, Justin and I went to church. We attended the same church I have been going to for the last two semesters, Jesus Life House. This Sunday was the Church’s 5th anniversary and so me met at a larger venue near the Canadian Embassy rather than the usual location near the United States Embasssy. Why do we always meet near embassies? I have no idea.
We rode to church on our bikes and picked up another RWG (Riding while Gaijin) on the way. We would have made it to service on time but the police took a long time in deciding that we weren’t criminals and we ended up walking in about five minutes late.
Despite our tardiness, we enjoyed the service. Afterwards, I got to introduce Justin to a handful of my friends, including my former room mate Josh.
On our way home we stopped at a large cemetery and Justin took pictures of some of the impressive headstones.
Late in the afternoon, a friend of my friend’s mother’s friend, picked us up and we went to Asakusa. Afterwards we went to all-you-can-eat sukiyaki. As at shabu shabu we tried to get the best deal by eating as much as possible. We succeeded in eating a truly enormous quantity of beef, tofu, mushrooms and assorted vegetables. Our new friend also offered to take us to Mount Fuji next Saturday.
“a friend of my friend’s mother’s friend”
And what does that make us? Absolutely nothing!
