Birthday at Coco’s Family Restaurant in Japan

Today is my birthday, but when I was in Japan my friends took me to a “family restaurant” and we celebrated there. My meal wasn’t free but I did get a free ice cream dessert as you can see below. Pretty nice!

The manager and the waitress also sang “Happy Birthday” to me too! Check out the waitress’s tambourine! Yaaaaayyyy!!!

This last photo is of my friend’s kid. I don’t know where he got the idea to stick Kleenex up his nose and in his ears, but that’s the kind of innovative thinking that I like!

    Cringe! I can’t believe you got them to sing to you. You’re a 32-year-old man!

    Still… looks like they enjoyed themselves…. I think! :-D
