| My husband ordered me frog legs but told me it was chicken. It tasted like chicken! Whenever we go on hikes, we always stumble upon stairs. It’s become a family joke that we must always climb stairs wherever we go. |

| I remember being out in the wee hours of the night and hearing a song bellowing from a small white truck. The song went like this, “Ishi yakimo, Ishi yakimo, Ishi yakimo “ I was telling a Japanese friend how I liked that song and she laughing said, “ that’s not a song” |
