This year, we took a day off from dressing up on the Halloween day, I will just save the idea for next year. We just went to a Korean restaurant at Davis Square and then to a theater to see a burlesque show. It was very entertainment! Why it happened was that I didn’t really know if it was okay to dress up in costumes and walk around the city in fun, or some people may think “weird” look. I am a modest and considerate person and just didn’t want to offend anyone by how I look. My inclination is that it is okay to dress up in costumes but it seems like Japan is getting more Halloween friendly than the US though there are some arguments about it. However, you know what? I was working on last Friday in a normal, or rather casual clothes for me, and one middle age lady said very nicely “ I like your costume :) ” Well, so you know, for me, every day is Halloween! 今年のハロウィンはお休みしました。今年のアイデアは来年に取っておこうと思います。晩ごはんに韓国料理、そしてそれからバーレスクショーを観にシアターへ行きました。初バーレスクショーとっても楽しかったです、今度は本物の本物を観に行きたいな。 なぜお休みをしたのか、それは本国アメリカでは、大人はコスチュームを着て街の中を歩いたりしない、夜のパーティかパレードに参加するくらいだといろんな人に言われたからです。それを振り切って他の人の気分を悪くするほどの情熱もなかったので、様子見をしました。印象としては、コスチューム着てもいいけど、日本の大阪や東京みたいな仮装大会な感じではなく、まぁ淡々とした感じ。でも家族でテーマに沿ったコスチュームをきてトリックオァトリートをしているのは何とも微笑ましい情景でした。ハロウィンは本国より、日本に帰るのが大人にとっては一番かもしれない笑 しかーし、今年のハロウィンの一番の思い出は、その前日金曜日に私服、わたくしめにしてはカジュアルでスポーティな自転車通勤ルックで店頭に立っていた時、あるおばさまに「素敵なコスチュームね^^」とお褒め頂いたことです。「いやいや、私服でんがな!」とか大阪ノリではなく「サンキューベーリマッチョ^^」とにこやかに返答しましたが、後からコスチューム!とジワジワきて、一人で気持ち悪く思い出し笑いなどしました。 まぁ、着物やらビンテージワンピやら、コスプレの一部と言えばそうなのかも、ね。ハロウィンと言わず、皆さまも毎日楽しんだらよろしわ。 #koreanfood #davissquare #韓国料理 #デイビススクエア #毎日ハロウィン #コスプレですか?いいえ私服です #ilikeyourcostume (at Meju)
After that, we went to a Chinese restaurant, House of Chang in Cambridge. I forgot to take pictures but it was very decent. They have dim sum lunch for weekends and we have to go back again!
Saturday Dinner at Park Restaurant & Bar. The muscles were with fresh sage and it was a great flavor. Duck spring rolls were okay, and we went there for the famous patty melt but ended up ordering a ram meat pie. The pie was not very special but the corn bread on the side was amazing! It tasted like more pudding than a bread and I thought it could be a dessert, mmmm.
It was a hectic weekend, like Brian needed to work on Saturday, Leo got sick again and tried to rush into a vet but they denied us saying “ You need an appointment to get to see, or go emergency room ”, Lomi acted weird because Leo was sick, and I got a backache and walked like a shrimp for 3 days… But we all survived and it was the 4th anniversary for us yesterday. We went to a pizza place because for me it’s been about 5 months since last time I had pizza. The restaurant Posto has their own brick oven and the pizza tasted amazing. Everything was great except for the octopus salad; it doesn’t has the gummy texture of the octopus. Most of the people here would love that but I’d prefer real octopus. He’s got me an eau de toilette, I’m one lucky wife smile emoticon Wish us luck on the 5th year!!
After Beacon Hill window shopping, headed tothe Langham to enjoy afternoon tea. Last time we had one was about 3 years ago in London, it was fun and this time was also excellent. The sweets was not the most special ones but the crab puffs and scones were fabulous!! I have a list of afternoon tea places, can’t wait to try all of them soon :)
