21 day - slowing down a bit

This morning I woke up real late because I was real tired from the plane ride. It was about 2pm when I was up and I was hungry as usual, so I walked over to the train station to look for food. I walked by this fast food place Sukiya many times before, and it was always crowded during lunch time, so now since everyone was back at work, I was able to easily find a seat. I sat at the bar where I could have a better view of the restaurant and the kitchen. I sat down and looked at the huge and colorful menu. There could easily be over 300 items on the menu. Their specialty seemed to be the beef bowl so I ordered a medium sized bowl. As you can tell that I like taking pictures of the table etc, and right after I ordered I took 1 quick shot of the table for you and as I was placing my camera into my pocket (about a 3 second time lapse between me ordering, taking the pic and putting my camera into my pocket) my beef bowl landed in front of me! OMG that’s the fastest service I’ve gotten since I’ve been here!!! It tasted very good and for only 450 Yen, it’s well worth it! I went home afterwards to finish my blogs from days ago and at night we went to Shibuya. There was this little hole-in-the-wall place that’s pretty cool and it’s a place where “salary-men” hang out after work to go drinking. It was up on the 3rd floor of a building and they served pretty authentic Japanese appetizers.
While we were there, there was this one customer who picked up a Japanese guitar and starting singing something like an old Japanese folk-song thing and later on the waiter joined him with another guitar like thing and everyone started singing… We were still hungry afterwards so we dropped by Wendy’s before we headed home.
