週末週末

Saturday was the first day I could sleep late. No school, no homework, no nothing to spoil the weekend. When I woke at 11 AM the sun was shining and it was a beautiful day. Mrs. Oginome offered to be my tour guide for the day and so we went to a Zoo in Ueno. We saw everybodies favorite animal: pandas. We saw lions and tigers and monkeys and even a group of evil pinguins waiting poised for the time when their grand scheme would be set in motion and their race would finally overthrow mankind and rightfully rule this world - that or waiting for more herring.

In the evening I had invited the Oginomes out to dinner. We went to an Izakaya(居酒屋), which literally means "a shop with alcohol". You normally order a lot of different small courses and everybody shares. Today was no different and we had Sashimi, Yakitori and a hundred more dishes I can't remember the name of. In the end I had to fight Mr. Oginome over the bill because even though I had invited the family he insisted on paying - so we ended up splitting the bill. In Denmark people only fight over the bill when nobody wants to pay :-)
