Australia Day

Apparently last Friday was Australia day and Evan insisted we celebrate it, so we headed to the local Ya. It was packed with loud, drunken, smoking Japanese people so we went to Masta's instead. Evan brought an assortment of Aussie delicacies including kangaroo jerky, Vegemite and Bundaberg Rum. The jerky was alright the Vegemite was disgusting and the rum was good until the next morning.

Evan with jerky and what Jimmy described as manure(vegemite).

A bit un-Aussie like but we ended up eating Udon nabe which was super delicious.

Evan ended up getting to most inebriated and poor Yuka had the unfortunate luck to be sitting next to him.

Along with the food Evan sang some Australian songs, much to our regret, and we learned a bit about the colonization of Australia. The rum encouraged multifarious subjects of discussion from the war in Iraq to how the Japanese school system deals with mentally handicapped students. It was a good time and I'll celebrate Aussie day any year... let's not go snowboarding the next day though!

He has the big 23 coming up this Saturday! Happy Birthday Evan!
