Taxis outside Sendai Station

Mum asked me if she’d have a problem getting a taxi outside of Sendai Station when they arrive on the 3rd. You will NEVER have a problem getting a taxi!!

Project 365 – Day 275

Restaurant ticket machine

On the way to see the last Harry Potter movie Sophie, Amanda and I needed to grab something quick for tea so we went to this pasta restaurant near the movie theatre. This is the first time I’ve seen a ticket machine that hasn’t been in a ramen restaurant. You make your selection and pay on the machine before giving your ticket to the chefs inside. I guess it stops them having the handle money?

Purikura (photo booth) fun!

Fun night out with the girls. We had a leaving dinner for the ALTs that are going home in a few weeks. Then we hit up the arcade to do some photo booths, then ice cream and 5 hours of karaoke! Perfect way to start the weekend.
