 Even though I have no connection to Japan I LOVE Sushi. Sushi originally comes from Japan. Some people think that sushi is fish and seaweed and rice all wrapped up, but really it’s not. Sushi is actually a slice of fish and rice. No avocado no seaweed. Wait never mind it does sometimes have seaweed and other foods but you won’t see that much of it in Japan. Nare Zushi was the original type of sushi. It was first made in South East Asia. Some people think it was first made along the Mekong River. Sushi actually means “Sour Tasting” I hope you enjoyed my brief little History lesson on Sushi.

Japan By Mollie

On summer vacation I went to Japan: )

I went to Tokyo Disney Land and I had so much fun! My family and I saw a 3D show about a magical hat. It was really cool but it made me a little dizzy.. We also went on lots of rides. The best one was the car ride based on the movie “Who Framed Roger Rabit.” I can’t wait to go back next year.

We visited a town in Japan called Hacona. My great aunt came with us and we went on a hike to a volcano. There were lots of stores on the way to the top. We stopped at one store and ate some black eggs and black ice-cream. The eggs tasted like normal eggs and the ice-cream was vanilla flavored. After the hike we went on a pirate ship. It was on the lake near the volcano. We also went on a rope way. It was kind of scary. We stayed at a pretty good hotel, too and they had very good food there. We had all kinds of things like squid ink potato, small hamburgers and other things I can’t name. I wish I spent more time there. I hope I can stay in Japan longer next year.

I then went to my grandparents house. They live near the beach so we went swimming. It was very salty, but my dad said that the salt is good for me. After swimming we went back to my grandfather’s house and had a great dinner with my family. My aunt and uncle came and they brought some Iseshrimp. Iseshrimp is a very good shrimp that is similar to a lobster. It was my first time eating one. We also had a lot of other things like sushi, miso soup,and other Japanese foods.

I hope my grandparents are healthy and well the next time I see them.
