I may not come home

Tokyo, Japan


Such adventures! I went out to Shibuya shopping at 1 and bought a sweater. Of course it was on clearance because an average sweater in Tokyo would cost me about 150 bucks. My host mom was at a conference so I met her at 5. We went to dinner with a bunch of businessmen from Japan and Hong Kong. The restaurant was really nice and very traditional. Dinner was great. We had hibachi on a little burner on our table and I ate eel and clam and lots of raw tuna. Raw fish goes down like rice now. I was surprised how much they drink. Every time I turned my back my glass of beer was full. They made me order a drink and I told them to pick and it ended up being vinegar, honey and lemon. Gross, but I drank it. After dinner and about 20 bottles of beer the lead ambassador from Hong Kong took us to a private lounge and bought 8 bottles of wine for us to drink. We watched soccer and it was fun. Everyone spoke English to me and offered me jobs in Japan or Hong Kong which was nice. I love Japan! I wish every night was so much fun!

Hey Kirsten,
Glad you are having such a great time in the East. My mom felt the same way about Japan when she lived there for a year.

Try not to forget about us boring Americans when you take one of those high powered jobs!
