Monja the Japanese local food

My Friend, S, who lives in Manchester, England , came back to Japan for her summer holiday. So, We (former classmates in an English school) had a reunion party a Monja restaurant in Tukishima which is a famous town as there are a lot of Monja Restaurants. Monja is a Tokyo's local food. See photos. It looks like not yummy (who say it looks vxxxx?), but the smell and taste is good like a soup with soy sauce. Uhhhh, it's difficult explain the taste!

We had a fun time!

I'll be alone or I'll be free

My husband works for an American company in Tokyo, and his boss decided to send him to the headquarter in Missouri from today to beginning of Sep which mean I'll spend by myself during this summer. It sounds lonely, but I'm excited a little. I've never been lived by myself, because I followed Japanese traditional custom which a girl must live with her parents until she gets married.
