One of the most delicious things about moving to a new country definitely has to be sampling every single food plaza that exists. Such an experience could only lead me right to Chinatown, to a quaint little Japanese Sushi restaurant by the name of Hokkaido. With my own gang of misfits (aka my fellow low-tolerance-for-retail-customers coworkers/friends), we ventured on to have a day full of laughter, gossip, and of course, delicious sushi. (which unfortunately could not be featured here as a video :\)

Everything about the quaint little restaurant was perfect - from the serving platters, to the traditional utensils, bowls, etc. It was like walking right into an anime (which is totally a dream of mine). Of course, being that it was an authentic Japanese restaurant, as specified by Jared, who is essentially a Chinatown guru, it was the best sushi I have ever had!

Surely, the day might seem superbly normal - a group of friends hanging out, enjoying some sushi. That's the best part of it though! It's been so long since I've been out with friends by my own volition, by my own choice, without having someone blowing up my phone with a million speculative questions. It was a nice day to just sit back and enjoy the company of people. I swear to you, I hardly even touched my phone (with the exception of snapchatting and instagraming every aspect of our lunch). It's far too easy to get swept up in the work and school life, in our own problems, that we sometimes forget that the best part of being apart of this world is actually taking part in this world.

Adding this to my list of new experiences (and I'm talking about a literal list) excites me too greatly to put into words!
