What I Ate in Japan

Dear D,

What can I say, the food in Japan is oiiiiishiiiii~~~

I ate a lot of ramen and noodles in general.. this one's with a miso/fish-based broth.

Also ate a ton of raw fish. Welcome to your new home in my body, mercury! ..but worth it?

Soba.
Swanky McD burger with avocado!

I ate that eyeball.

I included my hand to show just how enormous these suckers were.

Udon and tempura!

More ramen!

Box dinner from convenient store.

Appetizers from the first night!

I'm game to go back whenever you want.

love,

L

Nashville

Dear L,

I returned last weekend from a conference in Nashville, Tennessee.  The hotel was... interesting.  I think the best way to describe it is as a mallosphere, sort of an ecosphere/dome for materialistic humans.  I took some pictures.

One of three large "ecosystems".  Everything was completely enclosed.

Restaurants in the enclosure.  You can see the hotel rooms in the background.

There was even a riverboat drifting through the place.

I'm not sure why, but the whole things was kind of depressing.  Reminded me a bit of Wall-E.


Love,
D
