karaoke night!

friday night i went with some friends to dinner and karaoke. the restaurant was amazing! each table is under a hut and decorated differently. it had a jamaican feel to it (okinawans love jamaica and everything associated with it.. bob marley, hemp (they use a marijuana leaf to represent hemp haha), and the flag). it was so creative! and there is a wooden path around the huts to get around the restaurant.. and all this is inside! during dinner, someone asked me if there was a restaurant like this in the states, and i was like heck no! this would definitely break the fire code! toru wanted me to try a bunch of different stuff, so we had a korean dish (fish insides.. quite tasty!), a popular dish from osaka (reminded me of yakitori), some rice noodles, sushi, avocado salmon rolls, chicken gizzards (better than in the states!), and some yummy chicken and rice. we came during the happy hour, so the drinks were very cheap.. got to try some new stuff! one favorite of mine was jamaican mule.. it's rum, gingerale, and lime. i also tried a plum sake drink (very good!!) and acerola (they didn't know the translation in english.. it tasted like peach, but i guess it is small like a cherry.. looking on the internet, it might be acai berries?). here's us at the restaurant!
next was karaoke! toru got a hold of some shakers and tambourines.. it was VERY loud haha. we got the children's room, so we had nice round pillows to sit on haha! a very fun night with lots of singing and dancing :)
