We bought a car!

Glenn did get his license yesterday and we bought a car! A 1998 Mazda Demio. This isn't the one we bought but it looks just like this:

We couldn't drive it home yesterday cause we have to take the title to get the liability insurance on base, then we have to get temporary tags so we can drive it to the Autoport on base to have it inspected then take it back to the dealership to show it passed inspection and get our Y plates. Phew! It's going to take us awhile to get all that done. Also buying a car in Japan is the fastest thing in the world! You pay cash, get a receipt and a title and you are done! It took us longer to get all the cash out of the ATM!

Since we were already off base last night, Glenn and I also went and had sushi for the first time since we've been in Japan. We went to a sushi-go-round where the sushi is put on small plates that go on a conveyor belt around the whole restaurant. Each colored plate is a different price and you just take what you want and stack them up! Then when you want to pay they just come write down what you had. Glenn and I weren't entirely sure what we were doing, but everywhere we go is a new adventure!

Tonight is the squadron Christmas party so I"ll post some pics tomorrow!
