Queue Terminator Music

Soo, my birthday was on the 26th. I've been procrastinating with my blog, I admit.
For my birthday the Rotary Club booked a boardroom-type place in a hotel in Sapporo for dinner. Believe it or not, there were 9 courses to this dinner. I'll try and remember each dish, not necessarily in order; Clams on a little salad, some type of sushi with cheese in the middle, sashimi, caramel ice cream, birthday cake (which was amazing, and I swear the icing was actually whipped cream), this egg pudding stuff, fried shrimp and shrimp-roll-thing, noodles and a plate that had assorted things on it like beef, egg and these little weird orange things that I can't accurately describe.
Oh, not to mention the hot and cold tea, coffee, beer and wine. I didn't have any wine, of course. Their legal age here is 20.

And I got a bunch of small presents from some Rotarians. Some things for school, a neat fan, a little box with flowers in it, things like that. Some of the Rotarians even did magic tricks, which was pretty amusing.

After the dinner, we had to wait for Aya because we had driven there in her car. She left to do this teacher training thing. We went to Mister Donuts to wait. It's kind of like a Japanese Tim Hortons, with only coffee and donuts. And you should see the donuts. It looks like something out of every little kid's most colorful fantasy. I'll need to get a picture sometime.

Other than that, not too much has been happening.

Oh, I almost forgot. You might be wondering about the post title. Well, I've just noticed that on Japanese TV they like to put some well-known English music to weird things. Like the Phantom of the Opera music to an Iguana documentary. Or the Terminator theme to a bunch of news anchors posing. Very funny.
