Visiting Japan

Yesterday was pay day. And just any regular ol' pay day, it was the first one from my new job. And considering how much money we spent to get out here, it was a pretty damn good feeling to have something incoming. And what else could we do than go and spend a little bit of it?

So, it was Japan night. We met up with an old friend from OU and headed out... to Japan. First stop, a local izakaya called Hagi, which had a huge wait. Got our name on the list and headed back to the states for a round at Applebees (the VIP lounge made it feel very un-Applebeesish), and then made it to Ireland for another round. It was time to go back to Japan at that point, where we sat down at the counter, devouring some most delectible items such as daikon salad, raw bonito, and chicken gizzards. Then! We headed back in time to another locale called Kenka (fight!) located on St. Marks place. Totally 1930's pre-war Japan! Their huge selection of shochu worked nicely as we finished off some wasabi octopus and kimchi. Though, we decided to pass on their bull penises and other odd entries. The best part? When you leave, they give you grains for their cotton candy machine! Nothing like making it yourself at who-knows-how-late-it-is in the morning!

At that point, it was time to call it a night, and we came back to Brooklyn and headed for the barn. How many countries have you been before in a night?
