They say you shouldn’t drink and blog but I just wanted to recorde the 1st time in recent memory (ie. at least 8 years and probably more) I’ve actually staggered home in less than “pretty sober” condition.<\/p>\n
In fact, it probably hasn’t been since grad school when I have actually flown this many sheets to the wind. But I digress.<\/p>\n
My Japanese co-workers took me out to a delicious dinner tonight highlighting the many tastes of Japan. Fortunately they took pitty and didn’t go too nutty on me. The craziest thing – aside from the fully tempura’d jumbo shrimp, complete with little beedy eyes and antanae – they gave me was some sashima that was either raw beef or ‘fatty’ tuna. It was delictable so I’ll decide it was ‘fatty’ tuna.<\/p>\n
Still it was the second bottle – really a small dewar – of Saki that put me over the top. Luckily for me when your walking in the middle of a group it’s pretty easy to end up where you’re supposed to. Also lucky for me I didn’t fully understand the question about Japanese bars. It’s only now – several hours later – that I picked up on the fact that a “japanese” bar has dancing girls that aren’t necessarily single japanese women (if you know what I mean). Let’s hear it for being clueless.<\/p>\n
While it was a wonderful meal to end my time in Japan, it’s only more sweet ’cause I fly out tomorrow.<\/p>\n
