castironguy Tempura for dinner in Midtown Tokyo. The clever deal here is that you pick the food you want to eat then go to the restaurant that makes that specific and only food. So we choose tempura tonight and it was amazing, but the menu was like six lines long: just what *kind* of tempura will you be ordering, huh? oh #japan [read more...]

私もつま

or watshi mo tsuma which means “my wife” as in “I am travelling with my wife” or “my wife lost her usb charging cable on the plane and i had to buy her a new one at the convenience store at 6 am yesterday morning.” [read more...]

8r4d Your #japan phrase of the day is

わかりません

or wakarimasen meaning “I don’t understand.” …something I suspect we’ll be getting some good mileage on this first few days. I took a bunch of Japanese lessons (and of course 10 months of duolingo) but this has just started to get me a toehold into a complex and beautiful language.

In the meantime enjoy this #panoramic pic which is something I actually do understand. [read more...]
