Annie and Annie Deux

Annie's best friend, Annie, came to Japan to visit so on Friday Laura and I went over to Annie's for dinner, drink, rock band and karaoke. We made a few PDubs (Amy B if you are reading this, that is what Laura and I have named Fresca + Captain) which may sound bad but they are ridiculously delicious.

We had dinner at the Noodle Shack which is literally a house down the street from Annie that serves delicious noodley dishes. I had the Age Yakisoba which was basically a veggie stew of some sort over fried noodles. Reminded me of this dish my mom used to make (Mom, you'll have to help me out here) but in an asian sort of way (aka, not as good). An adorable little restaurant though with an eigo (english) menu to boot! Always a bonus when we can read the menu. A side note on how adorable it is, if you order take out or delivery, they deliver it in the actual ceramic dishes and you just have to leave them on the doorstep of the restaurant the next morning!

Then we headed back to Annie's for some pre-karaoke courage and rock band practice. I never do the singing part in rock band but actually found it fun! Glenn, you would be proud of me.

Then off to karaoke! What started as 1 hour, ended up as 3. We often picked up the phone in the room and just said "futatsu bieru kudasai" (2 beers please) because they understood that well enough! We never mastered the 4 beers please. This may sound easy but "2" is actually "ni" but two of something that you are counting is a different word "futatsu". Still working on that. :)It only got more ridiculous after this so I'll spare you the pictures. :)

If you like captain and fresca, you MUST try tequila, fresca, and lime! It's like a low calorie margarita. Amazing!
