Adventures

Yesterday was quite the day. I keep getting braver since I know I'm leaving soon. The skies were clear yesterday so Mom and I paid the $10 to go to the top of the tallest building in Japan (69 floors) which is plenty tall when you don't like heights. We could see Mount Fuji on one side, our apartment building on another side, Yokohama station on another. The expanses of dense buildings were just astounding. Then I was determined to try a "steamed bun" which they sell everywhere in Chinatown but we got them at a more regular restaurant for fear of getting sick. We got a veggie one and a meat one (we still don't know what kind of meat it was). Because they're steamed, the dough is kind of sticky, but I kind of liked it while I was eating it. However, I felt like I was going to throw up for about an hour or so afterward, so I won't be doing that again but at least I can say I tried them!
