I had the company of an old classmate today, him and his Hungarian girlfriend and her 13-y/o (and enormously cute) daughter who is one of the biggest Star Trek fans I've ever met; very funny.
They came by my place for about an hour or so for tea, we talked a bit, then went down to the city to go to the Hasselblad Center which my friend's girlfriend wanted to visit. It's located at the Göteborg Museum of Art, and me and Nick visited it when he was here in december 2002. We walked our feet off in there - it's not exactly the Louvre by any means, but it's still pretty big if you want to see all the stuff they have for display in there.
Afterwards, we strolled off to the Japanese restaurant where we were set to have dinner, my classmate had made reservations for four people. The place was fairly Japanese as far as styling goes - enough so you know it actually IS Japanese, but not going so far as to make you sit on little pillows on the floor or such. It was pretty cozy though, and the background music was either actually a music box playing a slow tune, or a grand piano. Neither were obtrusive, they just provided a bit of sound texture and I didn't even think of it most of the time.
My old classmate had some kind of grilled rolls of beef with leek and garlic stuffed inside, with a soy sauce and rice on the side. I had teriyaki chicken spits, my friend's girlfriend ordered fried breast of duck, and her daughter had grilled salmon steak, without the sauce (which made the eyebrows of the waitress raise in surprise, guess she never had anyone pass on the sauce before!), along with that I had diet coke, the girl had regular coke and my friend and his girlfriend had ice-water.
Well, we got our food, at which point it turned out the breast of duck had somehow turned into a sampler meal of several different types of food - consisting of raw salmon, two teriyaki spits and some kind of sliced beef and vegetable mix which looked yummy. My friend's g/f was a bit upset of course but she didn't make any kind of ruckus but accepted the meal she got, but asked to be compensated with some saké, which she unexpectedly got after the waitress had already explained she couldn't give us any liquor! 
Eating with chopsticks was a somewhat daunting experience for us simple Swedes (and Hungarians! LOL), the wee little girlie had to have a fork to help her eating after only managing to get a small part of her salmon down, but other than that the meal went without further incident. The teriyaki chicken tasted great! We even had ice-cream for dessert, and the best of all? My friend treated me to the meal as a slightly late birthday present!
Awesome.
So, free hugs for EVERYONE! I'm feeling generous, heh heh!
Take care all of you. Be good now!
