Korean BBQ

After a day of doing nothing more than relaxing I went to the busy Shinjuku station. About 4 million people in average are passing through the station, or just below half of Sweden 😉 I met with Chie at Isetan department store from where we walked together to Koue, a Korean BBQ restaurant. There we met with Mina-sensei for some serious yaki-niku (BBQ).

When I have yaki-niku I usually eat too much. Today was no exception. It is just too yummy with buta-bara (some yummy part of a pig) and kalbi (some fancy part of a cow). Afterwards we got a chewing gum and were sprayed with some liquid to get rid of the smokey smell from the BBQ.

On or way home we made a brief stop at Yamada Denki (a shop for electrical things like TV, computers, and iPads). Long enough to buy an iPad 2 for Chie. The number 2 is because it is the second generation of iPads from Apple, but is also the second iPad for Chie 🙂 The only thing I am allowed to do with this iPad is to provide “Apple Care”.

Tea ceremony in the afternoon. My second class of koicha (thick tea), before I have only done the thin tea. It went quite well. The procedure is similar but the tricky part seems to be making the thick tea.

My sensei was surprised that I manage to make the thick tea so smooth though it was only the second time. I have no idea what I actually did special. I just stirred it until it looked like I wanted to drink it 🙂

After the tea ceremony I met Chie in a crowded (as always) Shinjuku. We went to Keio department store to check on some Fjällräven clothes. I bought a pair of shorts and 2 t-shirts. Buy Swedish!

Then we met my sensei t have dinner. Korean BBQ. We had meet until it was popping out of our ears. Then we rolled home in a pleasantly cool evening night.
