Hi Everyone,
How was your “Silver Week”?
Mine was great!
I had fun spending time with my friends and relaxing.
I also went to a concert, and recorded some music in the studio.
During the holiday, I had a BBQ party at my apartment.
We all ate a lot of seafood, fish and meat
that we bought at the Kuromon Market near Nipponbashi.
We invited a bunch of our friends to the party.
Joe also came to the party and brought us a gift from England!

Joe gave us some pork scratchings, which are a famous British pub-snack.
Basically, pork scratchings are made up of fried pork skin, deep fried and salted.
They are crunchy and have an oily taste.
Joe also brought me back a beer from England called Carling.
It has a very light and smooth taste, and is good for the summer season.
The Carling went well with the pork scratchings.
