Our Trip to Japan: Tamago Double Mac


Day 3: Tuesday

McDonald's
McDonald's is whole new experience in Japan. Yes, there are a few alternative items, such as a shrimp patty sandwich, but the real surprise is the QUALITY of food! It's warm, fresh, and beautiful! The buns are perfect! Who would have thought anyone could describe McDonald's using those adjectives?!? Chris and Jon had a Tamago Double Mac, a Big Mac with egg, bacon, and a pepper sauce. The ratings were 4 stars.



Gymnastics
In the afternoon we took the girls to their gymnastics class which was in a mall. Chris, Sarah, the babies and I used the hour to look around a Japanese mall. The styles in the stores are very European. I'm a big fan of their women's styles until it gets wild and crazy...which it defintely can get!! Guys' styles are very different than those in America....
Hair - the more volume the better...highlights a must!
Pants - lots of zippers and words make them cooler; bermuda shorts and capris are legitimate options
We spent the majority of our time in Uniqlo, a store similar to Old Navy.

Calvin picked the the right way to tour the mall!

Calvin liked to hold Mark's had on our excursions :-)


Keisuke
Keisuke is a college-aged friend of Sarah and Jon. He came over Tuesday night to play Settlers (of course). We shared many laughs, playing until midnight!!

Fun things learned:
1) Tamago means egg
2) upon entering a dressing room, you must take off your shoes

Why the name "Drinking From Our Saucer"?

The full phrase is "I'm drinking from my saucer because my cup is overflowing." It came from Chris's grandmother who would say it when she would get overwhelmed with her blessings. Through the years the phrase has been shortened to "I'm drinking from my saucer!" We thought it was a perfect fit for a blog that documented God's many blessings to us.
