I’m gonna make you hungry. I just landed in Japan and went to this all you can eat, health food place. Think about that… eat as much as you can, and it’s health stuff? This spot called Keke, gives you homestyle Japanese food. It’s in the Komazawa park area in Tokyo. You’ll never go there on your own. Oden (how do you describe this? It’s like a hot pot of vegetables and meat), Nimono (similar to oden), nikujaga (potato and meat), salad with different dressings including an okinawa citrus dressing, 4 types of rice (I rocked the black rice even though there was white, brown, and a mixed 10 types of rice), seaweed, many types of potatoes, burdock root, raw yam with miso, tomatoes, tons of small dishes that are like pickles and such, chicken, 3 types of soup including miso, boullibaise (yeah I spelled that wrong), and curry (that’s not really soup but it was good), weird fruit drinks, expresso machine, and agar agar dessert. There’s a lot more I’m not even covering, but imagine, it’s like a salad bar. And like Souplantation, you can keep going back, but no shitty pasta or pizza.

Today’s 9/11, and I feel strangely patriotic. Maybe not exactly, but I did get a call this morning at 5 something AM by UPS. Of course, they have their east coast hours, and that got me up early enough to watch the beginning of the rebroadcast of the 9/11 coverage from 5 years ago. I saw the 2nd plane hit the towers. Still a scary sight. I don’t know why I felt compelled to watch this, I even watched it during parts of the day for really no reason. We were all glued to the TV five years ago, and maybe I felt the need to have that feeling again. Gladly, I didn’t watch it all day, and my patriotism has nothing to do with flag waving, or anything like how you may think, but it’s more about feeling like it’s not my personal fault all this happened. And that, maybe I’m a decent American, like how a bunch of my friends are too. I’m still heading out to Tokyo 13-21, HK 21-24, Brighton 24-28.
