Tuesday was a rainy day. Johnny had duty so I traveled through Yokuska on my own. It was nice until it started rainy. Luckily I had my umbrella.
Forgot to mention that after we left the bars on Monday we stopped at a street meat station. Very similar to the ones the crowd the streets in Columbus. The only thing was I didn't know what to tell him to put on it, so I just said everything. Turns out that included spicy stuff! Thanks to my drunkeness, I was still able to eat and even enjoy it.
Yesterday, we headed out to Chinatown in Yokohoma. It is apparently one of the largest Chinatowns in the world. We were both craving some simple chicken fried rice and thought it would be easy to find some here. Not the case. It took us forever to find a place to eat, but we finally did. Johnny did get some fried rice-not quite the kind we expected and I got something that slightly resembled pad thai. We have found two things that no matter the menu, are always a safe bet: Draft beer and dumplings. China town was very kitchy and covered in lights and lanterns and pandas.
From there we headed further north to the Kirin Beer Village. We were hoping to take a tour, but got there after closing. We did go the restaurant to enjoy a beer though. We were falsely encouraged by the English name, decour and menu covers. Unfortuanately once you opened the menu, no translations. There was a very interesting business groups next to us. One poor guy wasn't able to keep up with the rest and nearly hit his head on the table from falling asleep ; )
That might be me on Friday night. We are going to the Navy holiday party and then going out in Shi-something. The trains stop at midnight and don't start again until 6am, so I've been told that we just stay out the whole time! Fantastic! Then we'll be catching the train home at 6am, catching some zzz's and then we are heading to Roppongi in Tokyo where we are going to do it all over again. However, that night we might be getting a hotel. I can party, but I'm not sure I can handle two all-nighters in a row. Think I might spend time hibernating to get myself ready for the weekend!
