Portland 5

My appetite during this vacation was off the chart.
We just finished lunch but we went to the market for the dinner.
Japanese market in the North West region: Uwajimaya


It's just like the Japanese markets in LA, but half of the customers were not Asian.  



Fish section was pretty good.


And they had interesting beers here too.



Naoko took me to a Buddhist temple that night.
It's a Japanese tradition to go to a temple on NYE (although I haven't followed this tradition for YEARS).
It was a small temple but it was very refreshing to hear the reverend's speech.
And we actually got to ring a bell at the temple too! Cool beans.

The New Year's Eve dinner was a traditional Japanese soba noodle and sashimi.



Naoko and I enjoyed watching a Japanese program all night (Thank you, Justin!) and barely managed to stay awake until midnight. We were mesmerized by Dick Clark's orangeness.
