Went to Numazu/Shizuoka today… my hangover is killing me…. all of a sudden my roll of good feelings turns into dizziness, motion sickness, fever chills…. and generally exhausted.
Numazu seems like a nice place. reminds me of Shimane Ken… Matsue. Asami’s friends are nice. a bit on the older side… but all seem very friendly and good mood.
Met one of Asami’s old friends from school…Stayed at her house…. she has two darling little boys… that are sick…. kept coughing on me and putting their bacterial snot all over me. but they are quite adorable and cute little boys!
then on top of all that… the father… drives a sweet porsche Carrera!!! 
took me out in it… going about 200 km / hr… its about 120 mph on the winding roads of rural japan.
Oh! and Japanese buffet. we went to GRAND TABLE… which is a buffet. in Japan… food is presented as more of a “selection of many varieties”… in all aspects. when you get a burger… you don’t get a big burger slapped on your plate… you get a small burger… with many different toppings, and side dishes for you to sample. the Buffet’s are done this way too. you don’t get a whopping plate to fill up. you get… a plate that has many many tiny indentations where you place your food. the point is… for you to sample many different types of food to your heart’s content… from all over the world.
beer and drinks are handled the same way…
Where is the story and pics with Charlie Brown…? :))
