1 year wedding anniversary
On Saturday May the 14th Toshi and I celebrated our 1 year wedding anniversary ( which is on May 15th). I had been working during the day until 3 pm, and Toshi had been training with the rescue team at work until 5:30 pm, so we went out for some dinner in the evening. We went for a 30 minutes bicycle ride to Jusou, which is an area in Osaka quite close to our home and that offers a lot of delicious foods. We had a great time! First we went to a Spanish bar where we ate some tapas and had a glass of wine. The atmosphere was great but the food was only okay. But it was cheap so we were both happy about it J Then, we moved on to a Yakitori Izakaya, which I can closest translate as a bar which sells not only alcohol, but barbecued chicken. It was crazy cheap! The best thing over there was definitely the staff. She caught us already on the street, and started to speak in English to me right away. At some time, Toshi answered “yes” in English to a question and then she started to speak English to him too. He was going to tell her that he is Japanese, but didn’t get any opportunity to do so. So we let her believe that both me and Toshi were foreigners. Toshi felt it very strange but interesting to be seen as a foreigner in his own country. It’s probably the best memory from the evening.
After that, we went on to a yakiniku restaurant, where we ate some delicious meat and shared one bottle of beer. Then, it was time to head back home, but we made a final stop at a bar closer to our home, called “America monogatari”. There, they treated us a little tray of cut fruits, since we were speaking to the bartenders about us having our wedding anniversary. That was very nice of them, and it made the evening a little bit more special J
