Hiking.
Last Saturday, I went on a decent hike on Sado. I was nice, a little long, but pretty well worth it. Here are some pics. After the hike, I went to an onsen which is always great. Then to my friend's place to 20th century boys, part one. That was also good, can't wait to see the other two films.

FOOD!
Well, I realized I haven't posted in quite a while. I thought up this post yesterday while eating lunch at one of my schools. So I'm going to talk about some food I miss from back home, and some foods that I really enjoy here.
First off:
Spaghetti. Probably my favorite food. Of course the sauce has to be good, I had some spaghetti at a restaurant here, but it had a few things I dont want in mt spaghetti (hot dog, egg, etc.). The sauce was also lacking a bit.
Next:
Pizza. A very close second. There was a very good pizza place that we ate at a few times before I left. I fell in love with their pepperoni pizza. I can go for one of their pizzas anytime, especially lunch time at elementary school. Pizza in Japan really cant compare, there maybe be some good pizza places, but only in big cities. It seems like most pizzas here are made on water crackers with a drop of cheese, totally unsatisfying.
One of my favorite snacks for over 10 years; flaming hot cheetos. In Japan, I have had much trouble finding spicy food. It just doesn't seem to be popular. So my my family put a bag of these in a care package, they tasted extra special. I guess not eating them for about two months made them more flavorful.
Ok, so know you know the foods that I have missed the most, now I'll show you some of my local favorites.
Yakiniku. It's meat, what more can I say; also at most places you get to grill it yourself. Once you grill it, you can dip it in a sauce and its delicious. My favorite kind is beef of course, I am grilling some kind of meat at home at least once or twice a week.
Yakisoba. My love for spaghetti really helps me enjoy this dish, which is basically fried noodles with beef and cabbage and a few other things. Its fun to eat, but very easy to get a less than stellar helping. Most times, it is good enough though.
Well, there you have it, some of my favorite foods at the moment. I'll probably have some more food posts in the future, with some other things I like and don't like. See you next time.
