beer restaurant

Last Sunday, after taking English lesson, some of my friends and I went to Asahi Beer Garden (beer restaurant).
It took about 20min drive there from a place I took English lesson.
I live in near the restaurant, it took about 5min drive from my house there. So I went back home alone, and I left my car and my spouse brought me by his car there.
Except me, seven of them went together by car, so unfortunately two of them, N-san and J-chan had to be DDs.
DD means designated driver for short.

In Asahi Beer Garden, we can chose variety of BBQs or shabu shabus and needless to say beers.
Our table had two gas cookers, so four of us chose all you can eat style shabu shabu and left four members chose BBQ.
. I was at BBQ side, even though I wanted to eat shabu shabu. Because if one of us chose shabu shabu, all of us had to have shabu shabu, so did BBQ.
Each dishes were different price, so we couldn't switch our foods with other one. Maybe next time, I'll have shabu shabu there.
We ate a lot , drunk a lot, talk a lot. We had a wonderful time there.

hennaed hair

One of my favorite things is coloring my hair by henna.
I have some spare time this morning, so I was going to dye my hair but unfotunatelly there's no stock of henna powder. Ugh, that's too bad. I really wanted to do that today.

Even though I can't dye my hair today, I have to prepare henna for using the next time, so I've orderd some henna(1kg, precisely) at Arnan アーナン right away.
I've used some other henna products from other makers but Arnan's is the best. It's really good quality. My hair becomes shine and very beautiful reddish brown, after I colored it by Arnan's henna. I also like smell of their henna, it's like hay or dried herb.

There's only one bad thing that Arnan doesn't have real shops, they only have a net shop. So I can't get their products from anywere at any time.
Net shopping is very convenience but if I really need what I want right now, then it's a bit pain to wait for a few days arriving.
