Dinner was literally a huge treat! We had a 10-course dinner. We started with a 1) meatball & sweet potato appetizer then, 2) an ikura (salmon eggs) and raw salmon green salad, then 3) chicken karage, 4) freesh veggies (mushrooms, sweet potato, etc) on a hot stone, 5) deep fried flounder fish, 6) jumbo prawns tempura (it was ... I swear 12" long - huge - the biggest prawns I ever saw), 7) nato rice & bacon, 8) shoyu pork, 9) salmon eggs spaghetti and 10) cabonara spaghetti. Plus we drank ume soda. Everything was so delicious. It may sound gross but it was good! Here in the picture is Pastor Aaron Cordeiro & his wife Uilani and Pastor Elwin Ahu eating the jumbo prawns.
We were so stuffed - it was painfully hard to stay awake. Pastor Talo recommended that we stay up at least to 10 pm (Japan time) which was 3 am Hawaii time in order to minimize jet lag. If not we'd wake up at 2am. We crashed out at 9:30 pm - no way were we going to make it to 10pm and sure enought we got up at 2am and every hour until 6pm when we got out of bed.
