Movie night – Madagascar

Last night I went to Saba and Sieni’s along with some friends, to watch a movie called Madagascar.

Chefs Mateeno and Roya helped prepare a great meal for us:

 

Here it is, cooking over the stove:

The peeps. Arash and I:

Lucia and Sieni:

 

And some popcorn:

 

The movie we watched, Madagascar, is an animation from the makers of Shrek and Shark Tale. It’s quite funny, with the voices of Chris Rock and Ben Stiller:

Games night

Last night I went to Shingo, Amelia and Shiori’s house where we had a wonderful dinner and played some board games.

We split into two groups, the first playing a number of games:

 

And the second, which I was a part of, playing Power Grid:

 

We played with 6 players, and the one game took well over 2 hours. Very nice game though:

 

Thanks a lot to everyone who was there, I had a great time.

Dinner – Nando’s

Last night we went out to one of the shopping malls here in Haifa, called Grand Kanyon. Kanyon in Hebrew means "mall", so it has nothing to do with the Grand Canyon in the States.

After walking around and doing some shopping, it was time for dinner. We ate at a place called Nando’s. You can see the sign in Hebrew behind everyone:

 

There was a rice with chicken dish:

 

But I had the chicken and chips:

 

Quite filling, but of course to top it off:

 

And here I am drinking it:

 

There are Nando’s restaurants all over the world, although apparently not in the States for some reason. I’ve been to some in Australia, and I think their chicken tastes better there than here in Israel. But Nando’s are known for their really good sauce – I think you can even buy the sauce individually and take it home.

This sums it up, from their website (which has a cool flash intro):
