Comments on last two posts

The last three posts were emailed and the comments didn't come through so need to explain some of it.  When I got to Omiya I found my first Family Kitchen, a very popular fast food restaurant here. (I saw this on YouTube ...Japanese lessons without speaking Japanese) the Japanese can be a funny breed...they have a tendency to contract American words so Family Kitchen becomes Faa then combined with Kin. So in the video the Haole guy is asking a young Japanese girl if she likes FaaKin...Yes I love FaaKin ...goes on like that...funny video.  So had to try this place and ask the obvious question.
That's my cousin and his daughter.  We met and had dinner at an Okonomiyaki Restaurant (Hiroshima style)
The next day I found a velodrome hoping to see some races but no to be.  They were racing at a different velodrome but a couple of guys were training and they did have off track betting with monitors televising the races.  There's also horse races, speedboat races and motorcycle races you can bet on, so my cousins taking me to watch both the bicycle races and speedboat races tomorrow. Should be fun.
