Sweets Paradise

On Thursday I woke up when the alarm on my phone went off. As usual, the room was rather cold, though my bed was very warm. I thought about facing the morning rush and oppressively crowded train that goes with having class first period, and about having class fifth period, which ends long after the sun has gone down. I hadn't really gotten enough sleep, and it was very hard indeed to get up. But then I thought, "hey, I already wrote all three of my essays, and took my exam. The hard part of this week is already over." And it became noticeably easier. XD

What I didn't know was how hard it is to go to "Sweets Paradise" and then come home to Japanese homework, for that was yet to come.

Thursday evening, as mentioned a in my last entry, I went to a restaurant in Shibuya called "Sweets Paradise" with a big group of friends (about 30 all together, I think!). The name of the restaurant gives a hint, but at this restaurant, for about 1500 yen (around $17 USD, at current rates) you get all you can eat and drink for 90 minutes. There is also some real food (rice, curry, pasta), but most of it is sweets, especially cake. Normally cake in Japan in very expansive, so it's quite a treat. And, I must say, though simple, these were some really good cakes and tarts and such. We tested our limits and ate until we could eat no more.
