ICE BAR TOKYO

Ice Bar Tokyo

Yes, I can appreciate the irony of moving from Alaska to Tokyo, just to end up at an ice bar… What can I say, we miss AK!

We went to the ICE BAR TOKYO with friends on Saturday. Everything in the place is made of ice, even the glasses. Of course, they only serve Absolute Vodka, so we were in heaven! Here are a few pics of our adventure. Kampai :)

Check out our new stuff under "fun facts" Scroll down to the bottom of the page. I tried to move the info to the top, but it made everything centered, so I have to work on that... Anyway, this way you guys know what time it is here, just in case you are wondering. I'm sure we're always on your minds... :P

It’s Raining, It’s Pouring

I know, I know, we should have realized that getting an average of 7” of rain a month in the summertime would mean that it actually HAS to rain – but it still isn’t much fun… It’s been raining since Monday and it is so humid here that my car seats, which got dampened on the way home from the indoor pool on Monday, are STILL wet! It’s just craziness. Needless to say, our marathon training (or lack thereof) has taken a turn for the worse. Tomorrow, I’m determined to go running in the rain. There’s just something about going back to bed at 4:30am when it’s dreary and raining that’s just oh-so-good!

What the...!!!

It's a bird...


It's a plane...

Patrick eating sushi???

I wouldn’t have believed it either, except that I was the one taking the picture! We went to the AF Ball this weekend and Patrick actually tried sushi. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, you are witnessing the very first piece of sushi he’s eaten in his life. Will wonders never cease…

We had actually had a great time at the ball. Probably because they had better beverages and music than similar events we have attended in the past. Plus, we finished up the night with some friends and two bottles of sake. Here are a few pics :)

Sidetracked

Okay, so it’s been a while since I’ve made a blog entry – sorry!!! It’s been a crazy week at our house. I started a new job on Monday. I am now the writer/editor for our marketing department. We put out a monthly publication as well provide marketing support for 60+ groups here. All of the people I work with seem to be great, so it should be a good time.

We also received all of our household goods this week. It would have been too convenient to be able to get our stuff before I went back to work. We also spent this past weekend in Tokyo. We went to an 8 course dinner, then out on the town. Today we went to a "Shrine Sale", which is like a flea market. I’ll write more on that later after I download the pictures to share. It should only be a day or two. :)
