> Our lunch.Despite what you may think, we finished this rather large meal between the three of us. The dessert was a bit of a downer, but otherwise, the food was fantastic. Especially the sweet and sour pork. Yum.
On a totally different topic, two Japanese absurdities of note:
- In my Japanese (synonymous for 'overtly polite' and 'conservative'?) telemarketing office in the middle of Tokyo, an A4-sized, handmade poster of Jack Sparrow with the words "FUCK YOU" written in capital block lettering.
- Around 11pm, on one of the most centrally located and no doubt, one of the busiest roads in Tokyo (Route 246), a man in his twenties driving his moped while reading a comic book.

酢豚いいねー。You know what's a downer? You go to most any average Chinese restaurant in the US, and order "sweet and sour pork", you get deep fried pork with maybe a couple pieces of onions or peppers, and the sweet and sour sauce on the side. No, the pork isn't drenched and then simmered with the sauce to make it a sticky concoction, it's just this runny pink stuff you pour on the cooked pork yourself. A real bummer. Recently found one place in Pittsburgh that does it right, though -- Silk Pagoda in Greenfield. Nice.
