Sushi-rama...

So, I just remembered another memorable thing I did this past weekend. Friday night Marvin and I went out with some people from the USOC for happy-hour at a sushi bar. Sushi! Strange. I had never tried sushi before, so it was certainly an experience for me. We all sat around and kind of stared blankly at the menu for a long time before ordering, which didn't help at all. I eventually ended up ordering a big roll-y thing with eel, cream cheese, some seaweedy stuff, rice and some other things that I can't remember. Surprisingly, it was pretty good! They bring you a big sushi-log that they cut up into kind of bite-sized pieces which you pick up with chopsticks, and dip into a soy sauce/wasabi mixture. I had a japanese beer first for courage, and then I dove into my sushi log with vigor. One thing about trying something completely new with a group of people that you don't know very well, it certainly helps break the ice :) We were laughing and enjoying ourselves pretty well by the time we all finished our logs-o-rawfish.
