Everyone said “so so” about it. When we reached to station, we rode on train No 6. This day, I and Hiroki want to try brunch. In Japan, we don’t have brunch. So we wanted to try. In Soho, There is one famous American restaurant. It is famous about brunch too. We want to go there, but there are too many people. We have to wait for 45 minutes to go in. So we decide to change restaurant. Then, we went to French sea food restaurant. It named “Aqua Grill”. But, when we arrived, It says they will open at 12:00. It was still 11:00 so we have to wait 1 hour. So we decide to change restaurant. Then we went to our favorite Italian restaurant. But it said they will open at 12:00. So we decide to wait until 12:00. During the restaurant open, we went to hotdog shop. I and Kazuya ordered Kimuchi Burukogi hot dog. Kimuch is spicy vegetable. Burukogi is meet.
