cori's bday/samurai sushi

last saturday, hiroko, saori, cori and i went to samurai sushi (this really good and reasonable jap restaurant about 30mins away from ubc)! i always wanted to bring hiroko and saori there coz they have been trying to find a good sushi place in vancouver. however, we have been postponing our dinner date coz of the midterms and what not. im glad the plan finally materialized this time:) and it was the just the perfect time to celebrate cori's bday as well!!

the bday girl and me!! cori is such a sweet and sensible girl! she has the gift of making the people around her feel good and i really enjoy her company:) oh yes.. cori's spoken english is excellent too! that's probably coz of her interesting international background. she's a korean but she resides in saipan (which is the largest island and capital of the US commonwealth of the mariana islands, a chain of 15 tropical islands in the western pacific ocean).

all hungry and ready to dig in!! haha. the spread before us:) really enjoyed the fresh sashimi and delicious sushi! we spent quite a long time at samurai - indulging in good food and girly talk from 7-9pm!! anw i observed that this popular sushi place is opened and operated by thai people! how interesting..

the 4 of us huddling (and photowhoring) at the busstop - in the freezing cold! the cold temperature (sub-10 degrees celsius) is still bearable. but the wind is an absoulte killer.

i realized that the japanese and koreans like to show hand actions (i.e. the v-sign, the cheese sign or whatever?) when they take photos. saori told me that it's just so automatic for them japs to do that! so i gamely joined them:) haha.
