Day 15- Dance.

Today, I received a tour of the park that is near the office. Then we went to this Japanese "sweets" shop. I thought it was candy but it was not. They were these pancakes with filling. Some of them had pineapples, cream, red bean paste, and others. They were really good. The filling was sweet but the pancake balanced out the sweetness.
There were candies, too. These were in the shape of fruit and hydrangeas. (Side note: Hydrangeas are monsoon season flowers [according to the mother who game me the tour].)
Also, there were these weird shaped pastries(?). I don't know what these are...but I think they're mochi. Mochi is usually made from rice but this store had made it out of soy. Anyways, this "mochi" looked almost fake.
I WENT TO A DANCE WORKSHOP! (KASEY- IMMA SCHOOL YOU!) I travelled all the way to the other side of Tokyo to attend this dance workshop where Keone & Mari were teaching. I LEARNED THIS Not only did I get to learn choreo from these guys but THE SH**KINGZ WERE THERE TOO!!! IT WAS AWESOME~ Hopefully, they'll post the videos from the workshop. You can see my crappy dancing. But it was all worth it because... that's rightttt~

    I'm so happy Roger!!! You're going to be so legit when you come back from Tokyo! :D && what a great way to start your dance career - with Mari + sh** kingz! (i'm guessing Keone was there too...)

    Aside from the awesome DANCE update - I have to say, all the wagashi you featured is just as good too *-*
