Now in Kanazawa!

I don't have much time but I finally found a way to use a computer in Kanazawa. We have the library orientation in ten minutes! I just wanted to make sure I have a way to update. Everything's been wonderful so far. I just came back from eating ikura tororo don (yum radish) and soba with Cristina and Emi (a cool Princeton grad student).
Today can be the food post! I LOVE Japanese food. My mom's Japanese so I know Japanese food pretty well, though it's in America so it's obviously not the same. So being in Japan is like my mom's cooking times a million. Or like the food my mom eats that's too good to let me eat (sniff). I have yet to dislike a meal here. Luckily my host family's good at cooking too, though they're always surprised when I know what they're serving me. What especially surprised them was that I knew about nori, dried seaweed used with rice.
Here's the PII special breakfast we get served at the ANA hotel after we first arrive. Yummyyyy.

I guess you can't see it too well, but it has tarako (cod roe), one of my favorite types of sushi. Luckily it's inexpensive here (whereas it's very expensive in America so you won't usually find it at sushi restaurants). It surprised me to death when my host family gave me $20 worth of tarako for breakfast, when it was really only about $3 worth here.
They're setting up chairs around me right now so looks like I should finish up. Later I'll talk all about my trip to Kanazawa, my host family, and classes (today was the first day and I got into the 3rd level, yay!) Until next time!
