Why am I Mr. Sparkle?
So I take a bit of a nap here around 5pm, after walking around to the Emporer's Palace, Hibaya Park, and the Diet, and find myself at 1030pm. Shoot. So I get dressed and head out into Ginza to find a restaurant that is 3 levels below the street. I try to order udon noodles and some gyoza, but wind up with some sort of shrimp and rice dish. Perhaps I should have learned Japanese before I got here, eh? LOL So of course I eat the dish with a Kirin, and somehow, while I'm paying the check, I wind up having another beer with salmon. What the heck just happened? No matter, I thank the hosts, then wander over to an "American" looking bar with Jack Daniels and Budweiser in the windows. The place is deserted except for two Japanese business men, so I spend the next hour looking through my phrase book with the barman telling him I know less Japanese than he know English. I was even unsuccessful in getting him to take a shot with me. Kampai! So I'm at Yoshinoya in Ginza having some ramen before heading back to the room. I plan on getting to that huge fish market tomorrow morning - should be an adventure.
