So much for the 'anonymous' sponsor. <br /><br />The shrimp, that's basically what it was; I'll take crustacean over mammal any day of the week. Not much difference between Korea and Japan in that respect. <br /><br />Unwind sessions... this was definitely one of the more memorable ones. <br /> <br /><br />Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09661426960326013304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3422399840077165986.post-17365854251309183352013-02-16T03:08:36.003+09:002013-02-16T03:08:36.003+09:00Speaking of eating almost everything made me think...Speaking of eating almost everything made me think of a kiddo I have recently stumbled upon Remy. Live shrimp eating http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtUcArcEHyg<br /><br />Anyhow, the talk with the pop in-law reminds me of my unwind session with mine. I thought he didn't like me. Turns out he is just a serious kinda guy but over a few drinks he warmed up and I found he thinks quite highly of me. Guess maybe he thought his kiddo would never be married off...

What 'harmony with nature' might have really meant was teaching your meal to sing and dance before eating it. <br /><br />Backbone... Old School knew what I was going through which in the big picture is not big deal, but in the middle of traffic, the universe can be really small. Yeah, he knew wash I was going through and poured me a drink. He also explained that, love her or hate her (sometimes both), our Dear Navigator is his daughter. <br /><br />About what's happening to the country, I see an ugly attitude of maintaining the old hierarchy at all costs. Which means that those older folks in the big city are more than willing to have those below sacrifice themselves for the short-sighted greed of those on top. This country may have been 'modernized' here and there, but in terms of Westernization, that's like trying to say all <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Futon" rel="nofollow">futons</a> are equal. We in the 'West' had what turned out to be some odd views. <br /><br />We're definitely not in Kansas anymore. And it looks like you've been doing a hell of a job helping people find their courage while stimulating their minds 'cause you got heart. <br /><br />Anyway... yeah... thanks.

One of the only times ...Yeah, it was the highlight. One of the only times anyone was able to begin to feel relaxed. Traveling anywhere with the family herd is not exactly the most exciting thing for the pilot. Once the destination is reached, the 'olds' resume their grazing. That's just what they do. <br /><br />Next time we do anything like taking a trip, technology will be put to use in planning how to get around once we get to where we are going. Ugh.<br /><br />Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09661426960326013304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3422399840077165986.post-15651957015378440382013-02-14T00:44:17.735+09:002013-02-14T00:44:17.735+09:00I had an odd view of Japan before I came here....l...I had an odd view of Japan before I came here....like most. Where the fuck is the Godzilla love? Geisha? (never seen either one)<br /><br />Somehow missed that most Asian countries eat every part of every fucking thing. <br /><br />Their are no large land mammals or anything edible in Europe I believe but the West's image of harmony with nature is a fucking load of crap. I loved sashimi more back in Hawaii cuz it was fresher and much cheaper and I had no idea that raw fish...that's just the tip of the berg..<br /><br />I get along with mean old men much MUCH fucking better than the 30 and under J men. They old folks got backbone...they built went to War and rebuilt this country and know their sons are fucking it up...and their former peers now in Tokyo driving this country into the dirt they once built upon so finely.Chrishttp://badboyinjapan.blogspot.jp/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3422399840077165986.post-32309134092336695772013-02-14T00:19:04.056+09:002013-02-14T00:19:04.056+09:00Please tell me that dinner with Old School was the...Please tell me that dinner with Old School was the highlight of the trip.
