Yakisoba ikaga desu ka?

So the title means "How about some grilled noodles?"
Yesterday, I went to Shiori's school festival. Laurent and my host parents came, too. Laurent and I arrived and were just milling around talking to each other as usual when some PTA members came up to us, and gave us school caps and aprons. We were quite thankful for the souvenirs and then we realized that they wanted us to help them make food. So the two tall gaijins followed a little troup of Japanese people to a food tent where they showed us how to make yakisoba, or Japanese noodle. Laurent and I made two batches by ourselves and then moved to the table and started selling them. IT was pretty trippy-- here we are, at the school festival, expecting to just walk around and have a good time, but we got put to work instead! It was so much fun though. The yakisoba sold really really fast because everyone wanted to buy food from the gaijins.
Today I went downtown with Laurent, Max, and Addison -- three other exchange students in Hamamatsu. We had such a good time.
