Food adventures with the girls!

Yesterday my friends and I went on a random adventure.  It all started because we hadn't eaten lunch yet, and I needed to buy curtains for my guest room.  We decided to go to Jusco (our little version of a mall here) and see what food places they had there.  We got there and started our search for a soba place, but when we found one it had a wait.  We were pretty sure we were starving, so we let the soba craving go and settled on Chinese food.  We were obviously hungry, because none of us got any pictures of our food.  I guess that just means we'll have to go back sometime and eat there again!

After we were all stuffed, we went to the home store to search for some curtains.  My brother's girlfriend will be here next week for a 9 day visit, so I needed the curtains to finish the room and to make sure the sun would stay out and not wake her up too early!  We walked around and didn't really find anything that would match the room decor too well so we left empty handed. 

We were going to just call it a day and go home, but it was still early in the afternoon and we we didn't want to waste the beautiful sunshine we had.  There is a hardware type store, Makeman out here that has a 100Y store (our dollar store, except way cooler), so we drove a ways to that.  Anytime I walk into a 100Y store I feel like a little kid.  I have to walk through the whole area and check everything out!  Eventually I did make my way over to the curtain area though and I found some awesome curtains!  What do you think?

We thought we deserved a treat for finding such great curtains and since it was so hot out, we wanted something cold!  We made our way over to Cafe Rachel and ordered us some Kakigori.  Kakigori is shaved ice with fruit syrup, fruit, and condensed milk.  It was delicious!  Towards the end mine got pretty sweet, so I didn't get to finish it, but I'll definitely be going back to try the other flavors! 

 
That put us all on a nice little sugar rush for our commissary trip (my friend put her arms up and "flew through the store")  and I crashed on the couch immediately after dinner.  It's amazing how the heat here can get to you.  We're in our rainy season and it will be raining and still so hot out!  I hope I can handle later in the summer when the real heat kicks in! 

What kind of fun adventures have you been on recently??
