Mac and Me

Last week, Mak made the trek out with his new girlfriend, Shizuka to Hamamatsu. He actually had planned on coming around the last week of August, but we kept bumping the date as we couldn't co-ordinate our schedules. As they were coming to Hamamatsu for the first time, we thought it might be a good idea to partake in Unajuu. Unajuu is a lot like Unagi donburi (broiled eel rice bowl) but instead of being served in a bowl, it comes in a square box (called ojuu). Ritsy did a little research and found Fujita - a nice little restaurant in Hamamatsu located oddly enough next to a hotel called Canada Hotel. It didn't really look Canadian to me....
I was surprised to hear that Mak had a lady in his life as when I saw him back in April he was a single man. Apparently he and Shizuka had gone to the same Junior High School but didn't really know each other back then. He was surprised to see that he was invited to his Junior high school reunion as he attended for a short time before moving to Canada and the U.S. Well he met Shizuka at the reunion and the impression was that they seem to hit it off pretty well. They have many things in common, they like sleeping in, they both aren't working anymore and... well they live in Tokyo...?
Who the heck is this attractive couple?
It seemed that time burned up and next thing I knew we were parting ways. They wanted to retire in a romantic setting near Hamanako ( I guess) so didn't take us up on our offer to stay over. It was a great night and very delicious dinner- I hope they come out again soon!
