i’m so slow

 

Back to School Weekend 2008

Elevator at Larry's Place

Dreamt about being stuck in an elevator, in a department store in Japan. I eventually got out. So it’s not some horrific nightmare.

The dream felt.. symbolic, so I looked it up.
Stuck Elevators = being stuck on something in life.
Location of the elevator = parts of life that you’re stuck at.

I’m not stuck on any Japan issues, so.. I’m stuck on shopping.
(don’t think I am) :/
Pretty useless information. Was hoping for something more revealing.

Inoue Ramen



Above the Well Ramen, originally uploaded by jonbu.

Located in the Tsukiji Market. 650yen. Saw this on the travel book, and Shirley also mentioned it. When I arrived there was a mini lineup, but those guys work fast.

Relatively cheap for having 5 pieces of chashu, but getting there costs money because it’s only reachable via the subway.
When I had it I was smiling because it was so simple. The soup tastes like mild konbu, the chashu tastes like pork. I think these guys are famous because it’s delicate, good ramen, for cheap, and not some secret formula. I would go back again.

And it looks sloppy too, so the look contrasts the taste for more impact.

Back from Tokyo



Between Otsuka and Ikebukuro, originally uploaded by jonbu.

Getting rid of the Tokyo Weather Widget. Gonna be a rainy weekend in Vancouver.

I think my jetlag was gone but I brought it back by staying up late last night eating instant noodle and watching the Olympics.
