NINJAS

Yesterday, I went to a Ninja themed restaurant, which was pretty sweet. The whole staff were dressed as Ninjas, and the restaurant itself was very ninja-esque. When we got there, the lady was like “I wonder where you waiter could be…?” Then this little panel was kicked out from the wall and our ninja-waiter did this acrobatics move and jumped into the room. Then he opened the door and took us on our “ninja training” as he called it, which basically consisted of walking through a ton of dark passages. It was pretty sweet though, I definitely wasn’t expecting it. There was one point where he was like “I’m going to use my ninja powers to create a bridge!” And then a bridge came down and we could cross over into the restaurant. It really was a maze, pretty guaranteed to get lost if you went to the bathroom. It looked like a dungeon, too. The menu itself was a scroll. And these two dishes that we got had swords stuck through them, and had smoke billowing out (see photo). The best was the magician though, there are some things he did that I legit don’t understand. At one point, he made me write my name on a card, and then proceeded to do all these tricks with finding that card. At one point, referring to my friend Jackie he was like “Is that your girlfriend?” “Uhh…no…” Then he turned to her and was like “Do you believe in destiny…?” Then he made her choose cards and it was always the one with my name on it. It was a tad awkward. "You two are destined to be." The food itself was really pricey and really small. My 22 dollar meal should have been like 2 dollars, it was tiny. Like maximum 8 bites.

Other than that...today, I found out I'm staying with my host family all year. My host mom sat me down and asked me what I wanted to do, and when I said I wanted to stay she jumped and shook my hand vigorously. She is made of too much adorable. I want to take her home with me.
