there were so many samples of the squishy and odd foods out today! we ate so many samples that i don' think that i could eat one other thing today. i really love daikon and i usually eat it when it has been grated and it's raw, and i've ate it pickled..... but today i bet i ate the daikon root pickled a thousand different ways and both sky and i loved each different way!!!
we also tried pickled beans (odd, but good) and many kinds of fish done many different ways. now i have to tell you a funny story......only eat samples where there are japanese people gathered, never be the only whitey eating at the booth!! sky and i were eating these little fish flakes and we were like......mmmmm, yummy this is so salty and ssssoooo good...... only to discover that we were eating fish bait!!! oh gross, after we got over the yuck factor, we discussed why fish were attracted to hooks cause bait is actually pretty damn good!!! if i ever get really poor....i'm not going to be one of those people who eat cheap dog food man!!! i'm going to go straight for the fish bait, it's really cheap and pretty freaking tasty!! and if i go ice fishing this winter.....i'll surely know what bait to put on!
it's another sunny day here in tokyo and i'm spending this last little bit of time walking the streets, taking the subway and sitting here in the apple store fondling the merchandise! i'm sad to leave and happy to go home. i'm a walking riddle! wayne forwarded me the environment canada weekly forecast.....-32 for the day i'm meant to arrive back in calgary!! wtf????? -20 is a totally fair and decent weather for arriving back to canada in the winter......-32 is not!!! damn you canada, damn you!!!!
......tomorrow.......leaving on a jet plane, don't know when i'll be back again........that song always plays in my head when i'm leaving to go home. origato, thanks for listening to me....and now i'm off to my room to let the fish bait digest!
goodbye japan and hello canada........
