I've been to Yokohama three times. The first time was when we went to meet dad's high school friends. The first time we ate yakiniku for dinner. Yakiniku is a delicious Korean BBQ.
We also went when mom was in Los Angels at a conference. We went to the Landmark Tower and it was a very clear day. We saw all of Tokyo and also Mt. Fuji from the top of the tower.
After we went to the tower, we went to the Cup Noodle museum. We learned a lot of history about the man who made the noodles. He was watching his wife make tempura and he got the idea for how to make dried noodles. My only disappointment was that we didn't make our own noodles.
But we had okonomiyaki for dinner which had noodles.
The most recent time we met the Watanabe family in Yokohama's Chinatown. We were so surprised and we couldn't contain our excitement because we found a panda store. I wish my friend Alix was here in Japan with us because she's crazy about pandas.
Hi Muriel - I wish we had gotten to see the Panda store when we were visiting you! I guess we'll have to come back again some time.
ReplyDeleteI hope you are still enjoying the noodles and Korean BBQ!
Hi Muriel - nice blog post! Some time I want to go to the noodle museum with you and make our own noodle cups!

Hi Muriel,
ReplyDeleteI'm just catching up on your blog posts. The panda store looks really interesting (have you become a collector of panda stuff?). I bet Cody and Jasper would like to see it! Do you have a favorite noodle dish? Wish we could come to see you guys! When I was at Grandpa Pollock's a couple of days ago, Cricket licked my ears and wanted me to say hi to you and Malia. She definitely misses you guys, even though she and Grandpa are good buddies :)
Can't wait to read your next blog posting!
Love,
Uncle Dougie
