I've been getting ready for the first day of school lately. Here, near Washington DC, we have just about every ethnic restaurant you can think of as well. But no real good pizza places, sadly. At least none that I've found so far. Now, I have to go eat lunch! Sorry it took me so long to comment. I’ve been getting ready for the first day of school lately.

The treats they brought back never quite tasted the way I would expect from looking at them. Some were good surprises (<i>anpan</i>, a roll stuffed with sweet bean paste), and some were less pleasant (the octopus cookies may have been the worst). But I'd always try some of the things they brought back anyway. Reminds me of some of the things my Japanese co-workers would bring in when they came back from Japan.

Yep, Domino's exists here, but it's a much crappier version than anything you'll get in North America. Their version of sausages is, in actuality, chicken weiners. x_X<br/><br/>Sushi, though... We can get some mighty fine sushi here. Wasabi!!!!<br/><br/><br/>Okay, short little story for you. Wasabi in Sinhalese means poison, so when I say that word, people around me either a. look shocked and run or b. burst out laughing. :D Now I’m wanting jallabies. :D
