I did take a break this morning and went to a shoe store to see if I can find a pair of house slippers to wear inside the dorm as, I am sure you are all aware; you leave your shoes at the front door. The largest size he had was a XXL, which they label as LLL, and it was to small but they had the closest fit of all the other places I went. I went to about five other places and no luck. You can see the pic below.
Today is a holiday in Japan to celebrate the autumnal equinox and the dinning room is closed on holidays. About seven of us went down the street to a ramen shop called, Kyushu Ramen. They owner is from Kyushu and open the shop about a month ago. This guy named Mike, he is also from KU and we had the same Japanese classes, has been there 3 times since we arrived on Friday. The ramen was really good and I was so full and it only cost like 700 yen.
Okay well I got ot go play World of Warcraft . . . . I mean study.
You know what they say about people with big feet, cannot buy shoes in Japan. Or atleast that is what they should say.

Tom,
I just wanted to let you know that Erin, Jen and I are going to Montana Mike's tomorrow for dinner. Just so you know, our food choices will be a juicy Kansas City strip, loaded baked potato with sour cream, bacon bits, cheese, butter, and a very soft bread roll. Or we might go to India palace and get chicken tikimasala. I hope you're not jealous.
Oh ya.. that foot binding is in China.. you know, I get those mixed up. Paul is always giving me heck about my geography. :) Its me.. Sharon. I am a faithful blog reader - I check twice a day to see if you have any new stuff up. I am now a Tom Blog Junkie.
