I had an early shift last Monday which meant I finished at 6pm. Arran and I decided to go to Japan for dinner, not many people can say that! There are two restaurants in Japan which are both suppose to be really good. We went to Tokyo Dining, which had a wide variety of sushi and rice dishes. To try something traditional we both started with Saki cocktails! They were pretty strong but really fruity. I ordered tuna sushi and grilled salmon with teriyaki sauce, it was absolutely delicious. It was quite expensive but it was nice to have a proper dinner! I want to eat in every county around world showcase by the end of the year. In my fridge at the moment I have barbeque sauce and mayonnaise, definitely need to go shopping soon!
I went in the pool for the first time this week! I didn’t get there till about half 4 but it was still really warm. The clocks went forward here last Sunday so it is staying light in the evening. The water was freezing but once I got in it was fine. The weather here has been lovely, so I’ve started to work on my tan! Although when it rains, it pours!! We were stuck in Magic Kingdom last week when it started to absolutely chuck it down. You never know how long it’s going to last so we had to run through it and we got soaked!
I saw Red Riding Hood last week, I’m not sure if it’s out in England yet. I thought it would be scary but I actually really enjoyed it. None of us guessed the ending, definitely a film to see! I also saw Lincon Lawyer, it is so good! On Sunday night I went to a club in Downtown Disney called House of Blues. I had never been there before so wasn’t sure what to expect. I had twenty minutes to get ready from getting home to getting a lift which I just about managed. We got in for free and girls drank free before 12am so it was a cheap night for me! When we got there we went upstairs and we watched some guy’s break dancing on the dance floor, it was like being in a film! The music was good, playing mostly songs I knew, and the atmosphere was really good. I did have to work the next day but I managed to leave early and had a really long afternoon nap before going out Monday night!
On St. Patrick’s Day so many people in Epcot was wearing green t-shirts and funny hats! They love it here and all claim to be part Irish. We sold green beer all day and a speciality corn beef and cabbage platter in the restaurant. I only worked till seven and it wasn’t too busy but I think the bar was full in the evening. After work I had a few drinks in France and then we headed back home. We were planning to go out but decided to buy drinks and snacks and have an evening in. I bought a green table cloth and greens plates for the occasion! It was a really lovely evening as we haven’t spent a lot of time together lately due to different work schedules.
On my last day of I got out of Disney World as one of my friends had a car and we drove to a place called Winter Garden, about 20 minutes drive away. We met his America friends in a pub where we had lunch and played bingo! I didn’t win any games but it was really good fun. Our table were the only people under 60 there! We spent the day relaxing in the beer garden, then we went to a pub quiz at a different bar. As usual I could only answer a few questions but our team won as we had some really clever guys too! The prize was a bar tab for next week although I don’t think I’ll be able to go as I’m working late. They were all really lovely and it’s nice to get to know some people outside of work!
I started my service training yesterday which takes nearly two weeks. In the first week I will run food to tables, work in the kitchen and behind the bar. It’s a pretty busy week as you work long days but I’m really looking forward to it. It will be a good change, even though I have enjoyed it all so far. I have been here three and a half months now so I’m excited to try something new! I probably won’t be out doing much in the near future as I do have to study my menu and make sure I’m wide awake every day.
