My friend Hank is telling me that I've made the Kentucky Derby look like a pit of despair. I had a great time and would go again next year. Maybe I did a bad job of conveying that. Haha.

Okay, hate to tell you this but I have a bottle of this at home. Friends from Hong Kong were kind enough to tell me what's in it and why it tastes so awful. It's made from the horn of the male deer. It's also commonly given to women after giving birth so they can keep up their strength.

Wow!!!

Good times! I certanly didn't want to Interrupt your conversation with the perubian in the van, hehe It was really funny! Plus I was "negociating" prices with the driver and talking to the police officer that got in our van too. You don't know this, but I used him to make the driver wait for us while we visited the ruins. It was a completelly adventure John!! From- Angelica

Cool you got a comment by the Author. I wanna read this book too!

I live in Yakuza territory for the 2nd time in my life lol. First in Akasaka and now in Nipponbashi. There are guys that have body guards walking around. Also apparently a tennant in my building got bit by a dog who's owner was yakuza. the yakuza guy just paid the person like 20,000円 or something for the bite lol.

Mr. Milito,
I always have a great deal of respect for anyone who takes on the taks of learning the Japanese language and reading your blog has been great. It reminds me of much of what I love about Japan and much of what drove me crazy while I was getting acclimated two decades ago. (Yikes--I feel really old writing that).
I think it's amazing that you were in 蟹工船 which has had an incredible revival in the last few years doing to the changing face of Japanese society and an increasing gap between rich and poor. Much of that has to do with labor dispatch laws liberalization under Koizumi, which seemed only to profit corporations, and dubious labor dispatch services with organized crime ties like CRYSTAL, and GOOD WILL GROUP--and hurt the underclass of Japanese people who cannot become 正社員 (official employees).
The book is a kind of communist/socialist polemic in some ways and it's rise in popularity is also associated with a rise in popularity of the Communist Party.
I was never a believer but I did cover the Communist Party and Socialist Party in Saitama for a year or so. The Commies always had the best coffee when I dropped by and the best information. Idealism I can respect even if the philosophy behind it is wrong.
Japan used to be the world's most successful socialist state under the guise of capitalism but I'll leave that to poli-science majors to dispute.
Thanks for the posting on your blog, and I hope you get a copy of the book for Christmas or Chanukah.

There are TONS of takoyaki stands. Okonomiyaki is different here. Some really nice restaurants.

Cool sphere thing, and nice commentary.
