Eva and Emily took me yesterday to Super H-Mart in the middle of nowhere, VA. It was great though! It is an Asian food store and I got to buy all of my favorite Asian foods like Nori, Soba, Ramen, Mochi, vegetable-mons, etc. I'm sure most of the people reading this don't know what I am talking about, but I am very happy. I bought persimmons (kaki) and a mango. AND I BOUGHT A RICE COOKER! That really made my day. Although we couldn't figure out where the small bags of rice were and I almost bought a 15 pound bag of rice. I would have been eating rice everyday for the rest of my life to get through it all. Oh, and I found the best kind of Jasmine tea ever, it is the kind Christy and I drank when we went to the Chinese restaurant in Korea. It was a beautiful restaurant in the middle of rice paddies and we sat outside on a misty night eating fun stuff like sea urchins and drinking jasmine tea, and I haven't been able to find the same kind since. But Super-H Mart is fabulous (so of course they had it)!!!!

Last night Erin came over and we sat on my wonderful balcony with wine and candles and talked. It was such a nice relaxing evening and it makes me happy to just have one on one time with a friend, where neither of us has anything we are rushing off to do. So often when I hang out with friends it is in big groups, or there is a limited amount of time, or we are at a debate tournament. So it was nice to have such a relaxing evening.
