In Sano

We also went to the town of Sano in Tochigi, same prefecture as Nikko. Ian's cousin Ryan and Ryan's girlfriend the lovely Kirsten are ALTs there. We stayed the night at Chez Ryan, wandered around an athletic park at night, fought some dinosaurs til the death, and sampled some of the local specialties, the best of which was the imo-fry in bulldog sauce. They're also famous, apparantly, for ramen and senbei, though I didn't try the ramen as it wasn't veg. Ya'll'll have to let me know how the senbei stacks up. (Do you like my new conjunction? Can you please start teaching it in your English classes?)
