Wednesday Night Eating Sushi

So, Yesterday at 6:30 Yokotasan picked me up to go eat Kaiten Sushi. If you don`t know what Kaiten Sushi is I will explain. The American`s call it Convayer belt sushi and in Japan when they say it in America they call it Sushi-go-around. Basically when you go into the resturant you sit at a sushi bar. In front of you is a convayer belt with different kinds of sushi on little plates. The price is determined by the quality of the fish and the kind of fish. You can know the price by what kind of plate you pick up. Different kinds of plates are different prices. So, you grab your plate of sushi that you want off of the belt as it goes past. You can keep eating till you are full and when you are done they will count your plates and tally up the price. The sushi in these resturants is not the best quality so your not going to have to pay a ton of money like if you went to a really nice returant. Each plate of sushi is like 105¥ which is about a little over a dollar per plate. I had maybe 9 plates. Normally I don`t eat 18 peices of nigiri, but she kept taking them off and giving them to me. We also ate ice cream. I thought she was in her 60`s but she told me she was 71. She loves bible history and has travelled to Israel. She traveled the whole route that the Israelites took from out of Egypt. She has been to Egypt, Turkey, Greece and a few other countries around that area I think.  On Sunday I am going to go to her Church instead of the one I went to before. She will pick me up and drop me off at the station. I`m really thankful for this, becuase it was going to be really difficult to get o and from Church on Sunday if I went to Kobe Union Church.
She talked some about how Christianity is decreasing in Japan and Islam is growing. It is getting more popular here. The Church she goes to is reformed. They beleive a lot of Calvin stuff.
After we ate, at about 8, we drove to a spot that over looks the Ocean . You can see Akashi Bridge which changes color. The bridge is huge and it conects to an Island on the other side called  Awaji.
Then she dropped me off at around 9.
