First we had Mom's and Kid's last Friday at the center and I was being introduced again to all the Mom's and kids that came. Lorna spends times with the mothers and does a theme based Bible lesson, and Andy, Motoko-hime, and I kept the kids busy.
Here are a couple of videos from before:
This is before Moms and kids started waiting for the fun to begin.
This was a dance I was "elected" to perform in front of the kids to keep them busy. Andy wanted to get some video of my great moment. Unfortunately, I did not get any pictures or videos of the kids. Next time.
Afterwards, we went out to a Kawara Soba restaurant which is a specialty of the area and is baked on roof tiles from houses. What is Soba you ask?
Soba (そば) is a type of thin Japanese noodle made from buckwheat flour. It is served either chilled with a dipping sauce, or in hot broth as a noodle soup. Moreover, it is common in Japan to refer to any thin noodle as soba in contrast to udon which are thick noodles made from wheat. It takes three months for buckwheat to be ready for harvest, so people can harvest it four times in a year; it is harvested mainly in spring, summer, and autumn. In Japan, buckwheat is produced mainly in Hokkaido.People call soba that is made with buckwheat that has just been harvested "shin-soba". It has more sweetness and taste than soba.
Thank you Wikipedia.
Anyways, here is some pictures of the place.
And here is my steaming pile of Kawara Soba!
Oishii-katta (It was delicious!)
