Says 70% possibility that the mountain is going to erupt in few days/weeks. I feel sorry for people who live near that neighborhood, but I DO want to visit the mountain since it's going to erupt. In my life I never live so close to a LIVE VOLCANO, kinda excited. Eddie is lookging forward to some earthquakes coz he has heard people talking about the big earth quake that happened few years ago in Seattle just right before he headed to Seattle for summer internship. And me, talked about all the earthquakes we had in Taiwan and my memory about 921, which sounds very exciting to him.
Natural disasters hurt many people therefore we shouldn feel sympathy instead of excitment, but as I mentioned in another journal of mine: the bridge broke down during typhoon, and I am sorry all I want to do it to check it out how bad it is.
we are bad people, but we are not mean. I promise I will buy some souvenir and donate some money to help local business.

Suzuki Ichiro
This is actually the second time i went to his game.
Eddie insists on bringing the eel bento into the field while I am as usual says that's kinda embarrased to eat eel bento in front of soooooo many people and some people might not feel comfortable about the smell. then Eddie said, what about those who had Nacho while watching baseball game? alrite, he got the point. so we brought food to the field.
people sitting next to us actually asked where we got our food, and people don't really pay attention to us. so things went pretty smoothly.
In the baseball field I always feel like touching the core of American culture: the way people cheered, the songs they're singing, and what food they sold (pizza, beer, beer, beer, cotton candy, peanut...). and there's Suzuki Ichiro.
So cute as he always be, that's all i can say.
You must think this is a boring blog, i didn't mean to make it like this, but Ichiro is Ichiro, what can i say, you must see him in person.

Seattle Ramen Guide, Part 2
As usual, I got lazy after first post. I should have quit writing series of articles. One of the reason I quit is bcoz I forgot one of the Ramen restaurant's name... anyway, here are what I remembered.
3. Koji Osakaya 89 University St. (at Harbor Steps), Seattle
In short, good ramen and not expensive. It has two stores in seattle, one is in downtown, the other one is on the westlake Ave. Check their website and you'll see they have more stores in Portland area. not too expensive, and I like their sushi too. it located near Seattle Art Museum.
4. Tokyo Japanese Restaurant Loehmann's Plaza (3500 Factoria Blvd SE, Bellevue)
This store has ramen only at lunch time. They have a long list of side dishes, which looks dilicious but not cheap.

Seattle Ramen Guide -part 1
Ramen is different from instant noodles, this is the first thing. the second one is, the soup of Ramen requires a complicated procedure to do it, it's not like other ordinary noodle soup.
Eddie suddenly fell in love with Ramen, so he decided to search for restaurant that sells Ramen. He started with this website WORLD RAMEN. and since I am the "search Queen," I later on discovered a fantastic website called JINA (Japanese in American) that lists many Japanese business, including hair salon (this is also what i need from japanese) and restaurants. My opinion is, living in the US, there are certain things you do need to depend on Japanese.
So, this is my list of Japanese restuarnts that sell Ramen. I believe there are lots more waiting for us to discover, hahahaha....... (fade out)
1. MAMA SAN
131 106th Av NE Bellevue, WA 98004
This is an interesting restaurant, it works like a normal Japanese restaurant during lunch time, however, acts like a Japanese Nite Club in the evening. it has weird dinner time starts from 8:30pm, customers mostly are single males, and you'll see waitress dressed up sitting with these guys and chatting. now i think any asian that has common sense knows what i am trying to say here. My suggestion is, if you want to taste Ramen only, go there during lunch time, it's cheaper. If you want to chat with waitress, visit there after 8:30pm and don't bring any female with you. Overall, Eddie loves their Ramen and rated them #1 for quite a while until we found Koji Osaka.(which is also tasty and cheaper)
2. Aki
4520 200th St.SW, Lynnwood WA
This store is pretty far, and I mistakenly ordered a miso Ramen that I didn't like. However it is still an option if you are near that area. the interier of the store is kinda cute, and they do have a variety of different noodles including Korean food on their menu. But I do like their Japanese comics book selection, not a great collection but has some essentials.
