Unfortunately, my French sucks, so I cheated (sorry!) and this is via Babel fish (which I hope is correct)...
Hier je suis allé aux amis du booksale de bibliothèque. C'était ma première fois à cette vente et également le dernier jour de la vente et de tout était $.50 pièce.
Pour ces non familiarisés avec le saimin, le bouillon est plus léger que ramen, non huileux. Le char siu et la croquette de poisson légèrement découpés en tranches se sont vraiment ajoutés à la saveur et seulement US$3.61 avec l'impôt.
Les nouilles étaient tout à fait fermes que j'ai vraiment appréciées.
J'espère que vous avez apprécié ce Rowena.
*Translation: Yesterday, I went to the Friends of the Library booksale. It was my first time and also the last day of the sale and everything was $.50 each.
I wanted to get some cookbooks, but there wasn't much selection left, there was a nice selection of childrens books in french, so I was happy to get these.
The weather was drizzly, so for lunch I walked to Makiki Zippys and had their large saimin.
For those not familiar with saimin, the broth is lighter than ramen, not oily. The noodles were quite firm which I really enjoyed. Thinly sliced char siu and fish cake really added to the flavor and only US$3.61 with tax.
It had been awhile since I had had saimin and this really hit the spot.
I hope you enjoyed this Rowena.

Okay, I read through the french text very slowly to get a gist of what you wrote and came away with this:
1st paragraph - booksale, 50 cents a piece.
2nd paragraph - cookbooks
3rd paragraph - saimin (of course had photo)
4th paragraph - bouillon
After that I was just mesmerized by the saimin. Thanks Kat, that was fun!
ha ha there was the translation at the end Rowena ;) anyway that saimin was for you too :)
Take care.

OH wow French!!! I can only pick up English word haha. Thanks for the translation. ;-) Noodles look yum!
Wow! Great job on the post in French. (I think anyway...I don't read French so I honestly can't tell lol!) ;-)
I did not allow myself to go to the sale this year--I had to stop my car for going there twice! Too many books in my house... :-(
Eeeeh, how come there is always something interesting happening around you? We rarely have sales, and we definitely don't have any saimin! Oh, the outrage! :) Thanks for sharing once more, good luck!
(used to study french for 12 years but can't remember squat! Have to use it more often)

Huh, I can't speak French, but I am fluent in German. And I want to learn Japanese. I will!
I love bookstores, all kind of them.

The saimin looks delicious!
wishing you all the best with Japanese Sandy!
if you are used to ramen, K, it may surprise you because the broth is really light tasting.
Take care you two.

Man.... I'm trying to remember the last time I had halfway decent Saimin!
zippy's was apparently voted "best saimin" Kirk...it was pretty good, hadn't had saimin in ages!
Take care.

Glad you were able to make it to the booksale. I wanted to go, but couldn't make it. I wanted to look for quilting/sewing books. Hopefully I can go next year.
Great job on the French. I know how to pronounce the words from voice lessons and singing in French, but I have no idea what the words mean. lol.
I hope you get to go next year Suze it is something to experience!
Take care.
