Once again my postings are behind however I am trying to catch up a bit. Last weekend I was given the opportunity to have dinner and hang out wit the Coulter's. They all lived in Japan roughly eight years ago I believe. One of there sons is working at the camp that I have worked at for the past several summers this year and it is just incredible how God works those things out. I went over to there house and was treated to some yellow curry, which is not a dish with it's origin being of Japan, however they said the Japanese really enjoy it over there. It was very tasty then our main dish was yakisoba which yaki means meat and soba means noodles. There was also some cabbage in it I believe. It was also delicious. I practiced using my chopstick skills and they told me that I wasn't doing too bad, which I was very pleased to hear. They put "bulldog" sauce in with the yakisoba as well which is very tasty. Towards the end they got out the pickled ginger and were having it over rice. They told me I needed to at least try it, so being a respectful guest I did. Oh my goodness I thought I swallowed some sort of cleaner and apparently it was written all over my face. We had a good laugh over it and me describing it as a different flavored/scented pine sol. I don't think I will be having much of that in Japan. They showed me lots of fun pictures and we chatted for awhile. They gave me some great advice and told me just to have an open mind and try and soak up everything I can.
