First Night in The Big City

After Yuko and I make the trek to the big city, Tokyo, and made our way to our hotel, we met some of our dear friends. Carrying luggage through the train systems and crowded streets of one of the world`s most populated metro areas is not fun in the least. Well me made it in one piece though, and happy to finally to be in a more relaxing atmosphere than the crmaped confines on the Shinkansen with a 8 month old that wants to crawl like never before.

After the group had gathered, albiet a little late, we headed out to find a place to eat and chat. Ah but that was going to be tricky in the big cuty on a Sunday when the entire population of Tokyo thought it would be nice to go out for dinner on a Sunday evening. We had a hard time finding a resturant with enought space for us, so we decided to go to a `beer press.` Much concern was made of the presence of Daichi in a beer hall, but he was fine.

I had three Kirin Darks and was feeling fine for the night. We did order a lot of food items as they tend to be small and snackish, if that is a word. I also got to try my first horse meat, japanese style, raw. I have to say that it was really tastey.... Oh come on Mr. Ed, I won't bite, hard....
