Omiyages from Japan

Last week, my Japanese friends, namely Yurika and Saki whom I met during our exposure trip in Sendai last year went to visit the Philippines. Yurika and I became really close since she was my homestay there and we thought it would be nice for her to have her homestay at my house as well so I invited her here. :) Saki, on the other hand was also with us in Japan, she was also close to me and she got her holiday from her part-time job so she also decided to come with Yurika.

They arrived last Monday, at 330pm and stayed until yesterday so its actually the reason why I haven't blogged the whole week. I toured them around along with my best friend Zhantelle and some participants of the exposure trip last year. I will probably blog their stay on the posts on the following days, so you watch out for it. :)

I was talking to Saki, before they went here and she said she had bought me Japanese Hello Panda as Omiyage. "Omiyage" is a Japanese term for gift. Its like a pasalubong. She remembered it was my favorite! :) Anyhow, when Saki brought out her bag of omiyages I was so shocked of how many omiyages she bought us. Yurika's omiyages are even separate from what Saki brought so our table was full of Japanese stuffs!
