The Onishis			2004110701.jpg
	Here's a family shot of the Onishis before our dinner was served at the okonomiyaki restaurant. From left to right: Kazuki, K, Mrs. Onishi, and Mr. Onishi. If there was a Japanese version of my dad somewhere in the world, it would most likely be Mr. Onishi.

	Kind of the Onishis			2004110702.jpg
	Same picture as above, except there's some random floozy thrown in there replacing Mrs. Onishi. Yes, that's 80% OJ I have in my hand. From a fountain. With free refills! I have no idea how my neck did that. o_O

	Making the okonomiyaki			2004110703.jpg
	This is what okonomiyaki looks like when you're just about done cooking it. You take these bowls of mixed vegetables and a raw egg and cook it on a hot table right in front of you. They provide instructions on how to do it, but the Onishis are pros and could probably do it with an eyeball tied behind their left foot.

	I'm not drunk			2004110704.jpg
	Yes, that's me. And no, I am NOT drunk. Or on drugs. Or anything like that. I honestly don't know how in the world I got myself to look like that. But... yeah. Let the blackmailing begin.

	Gerf in mayo			2004110705.jpg
	One of the last things you put on okonomiyaki before slicing it up like a pizza and serving it is mayo. The Japanese love their mayo. K had made my face in mayo, complete with glasses and everything, but he obliterated it before I could get my camera out. Which is too bad, because it was hilarious. ^__^

	Yakisoba			2004110706.jpg
	After the okonomiyaki, we had a second course that consisted of fried soba noodles and veggies. Oh yeah, and shrimp and octopus. Can't forget the seafood. ;)

	The Onishi parents			2004110708.jpg
	They didn't specifically ask for one like Kazuki did, but I took one anyway. *laughs* Nice folks. Glad I met them!
