konnichiwa!

Last night I attended my very first Japanese class and had a whole lot of fun.  It was on my list of things to do for this year (and not just talk about) so yay me!  I am very much a beginner but can still remember bits and pieces from high school, and of course from our trip to Japan last year.  I'm looking forward to learning a new skill and am getting excited about the prospect of going back to Japan one day armed with some language skills.




Afterwards my husband and I had some Japanese for dinner at a place we'd never been to before - (Teppansan for those Melbournites who might be interested).  It was quite good.  Definitely the best Okonomiyaki (Japanese style pizza) we've had outside of Japan, but still not quite right :/  It's turned into a bit of a quest for us - trying to find Japanese quality Okonomiyaki in Australia.  So we've decided to turn Monday nights into a search for the best Japanese restaurant in Melbourne.  I'll keep you posted!
