My last weekend out in Japan of the year is now over - and I have new photo for you. I met up with Brent on Friday night for Shimizu’s fire festival - a standard festival with good food stalls and music and crowds. It was out of season tho - December doesn’t really have a lot of festivals. But, we ate well from these guys.
Saturday, I caught up with Aroop and we ate at a Chinese restaurant - heh - the next 2 weeks are gonna be sweet. Really looking forward to the food and atmosphere. After a good talk, we went to Shimizu to chase down a rumor of a jazz trio playing in a small bar/cafe. We found it, and we found our information to be wrong - not free, not even Y2000, but Y3000. We passed and went with Brent to a bar. I ended up ordering a “Cookie Beer” from Belgium and drank sweet, 8% ginger beer.
In case you’ve been excited about all these frequent postings, I’m just trying to justify not writing here for about 3 weeks while I’m away in China. See you in the new year!
