I have been in Japan for less than a week, but my body begs to differ. I do not remember feeling completely awake or asleep since being here. I have gone out to dinner every night thus far and my sleeping schedule is still messed up. In other words, I'm feeling great.
To recap the last 2 days, AIESEC threw me a welcome party at an "Italian" restaurant. It is now apparent that the only way to eat another country's food, is to go there. Japanese Italian has seaweed and other classic Japanese spices in place of traditional Italian ones (not that I've ever had those either). Beer(Asahi) and drinks were included and the company bought. The food was great, although I didn't care too much for the octopus tentacle. If you were wondering, the Japanese don't mind eating animals that still are the animals. On Monday I ate a shrimp. I mean literally, a shrimp: the eyes, the legs, the little whisker things, etc. Then the octopus tentacle that looked like it would stick to my hand, if it were not for the absence of a head.
Moving away slightly, my boss' boss invited me out for dinner last night and had a couple more brews; this time Suntori was the hops of choice. My boss, Mr. Kato, decided to get a huge cake with ice cream for dinner. Since I really didn't know what else there was since the menu was not in English I ordered the same. It turns out it was a huge waffle with chocolate and ice cream. Delicious. Not Japanese, but I dare anyone to find this food in the US.
The company summer break starts tomorrow and goes until Tuesday. I still have barely unpacked and have not studied any Japanese since the airport. I also am lacking in sleep. Yeah, and then the upper boss, Mr. Watanabe, invited me to a traditional theatre in Kyoto that will be performing a play about Samari's. We're meeting at the train station at 8AM. Saturday I was planning on going somewhere with @ers. So, I might be able to finally settle down Sunday.
I will finally leave work now, as I will not have internet access again until Tuesday. It is 8PM, if you were wondering; another long day finished.

Let me know when you get your hands on some Kobe beef, I await your reveiw
I'm pretty sure you can get waffles with chocolate and ice cream here...but maybe it was different in some other way? Also, when I was in Japan almost all the restuarants had plastic food in a window in front or had pictures in the menu...is it different now?
OH! and go to the Garlic House in Tokyo...I have no idea what the name is in Japanese but I think it is translated to the garlic house or something like that. AWESOME AWESOME food! (if you like garlic and are not a picky eater...and if you are a picky eater you should get over that...like yesterday)
Hope you're having fun!
what is trough
and how are the ladies
