At our day at Miyajima, we had some yummy food. Mark tried the salt-water eel, since it is a specialty here and he likes the fresh water eel a lot. He said it was different, not as buttery and more fishy. His meal is the one pictured on top with the miso soup, pickled veggies, and salt-water eel over rice. I ate tempura with rice and cold soba noodles. The tempura is pictured below and includes a prawn, eggplant, Japanese pumpkin, shitake mushroom, and a hot pepper. It was good, but I've had better at other places. Later, and sadly I don't have a picture, we tried oysters because this region specializes in them. They were ok, but I'm not a huge fan. We got the cooked ones.
Yesterday and today are our weekend. It's coming to an end, so quickly. I have lots of planning to do for next week! Only two more weeks and we'll have another long holiday, which is something to look forward to!

I enjoy readying your blog and appreciate the efforts of your writing. It all sounds so wonderful. Tell us more about the teaching experience; what do you do each day? Do you start with ABCs or do they have a basis in English? Can they spall werds?
