Helloo (someone please, give me some good opening sentences... )
Anyway, as promised, the details on our dinner last night. Well, as I told you, we were planning on going to a shabu shabu restaurant where you cook your own food (Lost in Translation anyone?) but when we got there they told us you had to make a reservation first, so that didn't happen. We walked around the 5th floor of Amu Plaza (big shopping building by Nagasaki station) where all the restaurants are. So it's a whole floor of only restaurants. Then Mariko picked a different restaurant, Bull's Kitchen.
How wrong does that sound? haha. Anyway, they claimed to have good steaks, so we switched from Japanese to Western food. The steak I ended up ordered tasted very Japanese (as you might very well remember mummy hehe) but it was still very yummy, and I even had 10 french fries with it! How exciting is that! Anyway, the best part was still to come, the puddinnggg. 
As it was a special occasion (we go out to dinner quite regularly here - it's different, but this was special you see) we ordered two big deserts to share between the four of us (Mariko, Claudia, Ruben and me). Don't they look absolutely delicious? Because they were! 
After dinner we took some purikura (quite a happening - we had no idea how the flipping machines worked as they were different to the other ones, and so that's why we look a little startled on some pictures, we didn't know what was happening hahaha) and then it was off home
where the party continued. All the guys came to our 'appartment' and we had cake and more prezzies for Mariko and stuff. Of course we all went to bed on time without having too much to dink so we were all fresh and ready for our 4,5 hours of almost non-stop class! yayyyy.Jenn

Hm, that looks definitely tasty (although not very vegetarian, There is a Choice!! :p). And Shaen always has a very successful opening 'sentence', most times it sounds like : "wazzzaap", "waaazzzzaaaaaap" or sometimes even "wwwwaaaaazzzzaaaaaaaaaaaaappppppppp" :-). But I don't think it is a problem if you stick with "dear friends/family/...", it is not easy to have like 365 different openining sentences.

Nice pics by the way, though it takes a lot of zoom to recognize you. And I don't what's more lame, taking pictures of your van-o's or taking pictures of your food :-). "4,5 hours of almost non-stop class" = nvm!
Hmm, "stick with ..." vs "sick to ...", somebody who knows the correct term?
Live for this, if you don’t live for something you’ll die for nothing.
3rd post haha.
Maybe you could open each post with a quote from a film or song and then we can guess what it is. It has to have some relation to what you're talking about though. So for example, you could have started with a quote from RageAgainstTheMachine - Bulls on Parade. The song has nothing to do with ice-cream but it has the word Bull in it, and you paraded your pictures around...Good idea?
p.s. I was GOING to send you Grey's Anatomy but SOMEONE beat me to it, do you want something else instead of that?
Excellent idea sebas! I already posted some cool AP quotes @ gman blog. For example:
Fat Bastard: [about Mini-me] Jesus Christ, he's tiny! I've had bigger chunks of corn in my crap.
If you had eaten some corn :-). More "Memorable Quotes from Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me" @
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0145660/quotes
I would say that is enough all the next blogs this month.
One of my favorite quotes (along with many other) "Fat Bastard: [to Mini Me] I'm bigger than you and higher up the food chain. Get in my belly."
Well, nuff said for today.
Bait????
To stick to somebody means to be faithful to a friend for instance, or in a more literal sense stay close to them (in a crowd). If you were to go to Japan you might stick to Jennifer in the subway, so you didn't get lost. Except of course they don't have a subway in Nagasaki. If someone sticks to you like a leech it means they are very difficult to get rid of...
To stick with somebody also has a negative and positve connotation and is more generally used in the passive to be stuck with somebody which would mean be unable to escape from them. The more positive meaning is as in get stuck with somebody which means to become permanently involved with them.
I think starting the post with a quote is a good idea. My favourite quote is from The Big Lebowski:(those who haven't seen it, you're ppr's!!)
Walter Sobchak: That's not her toe, Dude.
The Dude: Then whose toe is it, Walter?
Walter Sobchak: How the fuck should I know?
But enough about quotes, because I don't really care how you start your post. I'm more interested in what kind of advantures you're having in Japan!
P.S. Thijs, taking pictures of your van's is defenitly more lamer(mmm that's not a word), than taking pictures of food.
Yea Big Lebowski is brilliant. Here is the short version.

Guess this movie:
"Dude, you've got a tattoo!"
"Sweet!, what does it say?"
"Sweet!"
"I know it's sweet, but what does it say?"
"Sweet!"
hmm that's not so difficult!
Dude, where's my car!
'ellow y'all', 'oi!', 'sup dawgs', '*check check*', 'you will NOT believe what just happened' (but in a very girlie mean girlie kinda voice), 'yoyo jenno in the houso', lol I dunno :D It doesn't really matter how you start, it what kinds of exciting stories you'll tell ;)
"it -->matters<-- what kinds of exciting stories you'll tell"/ You're not suffering from dyslexia, are you Lau? (haha, sorry for this insiders-joke-spam) (and for all the incorrect english I posted on this blog, which you will use against me now I guess)
And thnx for the explanation Leslie. I think I had to write "...if you stick _to_ "dear friends/family/..."" then?
Of course I meant it's about! After all that spam it's not that hard to make a typing error lol.
