Hello! Last week I went with my mom to Japan! She had to go for work and she decided to bring me along. We flew in to Kobe, (pronounced "Ko-bay"), and ended up waiting for 5 hours at the airport waiting for my Mom's colleagues to arrive. We ate sushi at a place that had a conveyor belt running by the table with sushi on it, or you could order stuff seperately and have it brought to you on a little train that stopped at your table. My favorite was sushi with eel, cream cheese, Japanese omelette with rice wrapped in seaweed. It was delicious. We ate, and then we found a table at a starbucks and we read and listened to music and worked until Chao and Fei arrived. Then we took a taxi to the hotel. The airport was on a manmade island called Kansai, so while driving to the mainland, we just crossed bridges after bridge to no end.
We arrived at the hotel, but it kind of tricked us. The lobby and lounge looked amazing, but our room was at the same level of a Motel. We still made it work.
We all went to a steakhouse attached to the hotel that night for dinner. Kobe is famous for it's beef. We sat down and each had a huge bowl set in front of us. Then a chef came and cooked our food in front of us and set in our bowls, telling us what to dip the food in to bring out the flavors. He was so nice. Mom got the beef, and I got prawns. But these were huge prawns, with claws and heads and everything. I had to watch Chao eat his to eat mine because I had no idea how. The beef was amazing. I walked away from that table full, satisfied, and extremely, extremely happy.
The next day I stayed at the hotel and did schoolwork while Mom went to work. Then I took a taxi to Mom's work place and met her there. We went out to dinner at an italian restaurant, oddly enough, by the harbor. It was delish, and the view was absolutely fabulous. there was even a hotel that was built to look like a boat on the shore. It was all so beautiful!

The next morning, we woke up early to go on a hike in the mountains literally next door to the hotel. Fei came along too. It was so beautiful. Everything was so green, and there were some huge and beautiful waterfalls too. We came back and Mom and I had breakfast together. It was fun. We got to chat :) Mom came back around noon, and we all went to the airport. We split once we got there because Fei and Chao were leaving Japan to go back to Shanghai, and Mom and I were flying locally to Tokyo.
