We Be Aliens!

I moved all the way across my small town! I feel the Culture Shock!

Last night I had Beijing duck at on of the city's best duck restaurant. I don't often eat Chinese food but this duck was to die for!

I like the taste of duck, but anytime I've eaten it, I've been sick afterwards.

German food has too many vegetables for me, but I've tried a fair few things since being here. To name three; pickled and jellied meat wasn't that great, raw salmon with black pepper was okay but too rubbery to chew, but their own tomato pasta was lovely and spicy.

Massive sweat box syndrome today on the Metro to work. No air-con. I got off and my shirt was damp.

I was out earlier and was a bit sweaty after hauling my guitar about. When I go for my interview tomorrow, I'll go to the area in shorts and t shirt and change into my suit nearby.

I was born in Los Angeles and move here when I was 10 months old.

So you're one of the lucky ones. Having dual citizenship will be very handy for you in the future.

I know I keep going on about Toronto. I also know that it isn't a small town. However, one of the things I like about it is you can jump off at a random station and find a completely different kind of area. There are so many immigrants. So much diversity.

When I was in a restaurant in Toronto, I ordered chicken. I was given duck instead. I love duck. The waiter came to me and apologized after serving me. Seemed they'd given me the same dish, but duck instead of chicken. He offered to replace it but I was happy. Duck is more expensive, but I only paid the price advertised for the Chicken.

I'm very fussy with vegetables too. It's quite hard to avoid in Japan.

Don't let it put you off raw salmon though. I went to a sashimi restaurant and ordered a salmon and tuna meal. Both were great and not rubbery at all. Next time, I'll just order the salmon. It was great.

Well, I'm fussy with vegetables in the sense of "if it's not potato, I'm not eating it". I'm quite happy with meat, potatoes and gravy.

It didn't taste bad. In fact, the peppery taste had a nice little kick to it, but it was just the texture. I haven't eaten raw fish much, and the rubbery texture is just very hard to get over. Same with onions, the taste and smell is lovely, but I can't eat them because I don't like the feeling of biting into them.

Still not too sure on the "rubbery texture" part. Calamari is like eating rubber bands. Salmon, not so much. As for onions, I can't stand the taste, texture and smell.

A quick note for those who plan no coming to Japan. Whatever you do, do not go to Shinjuku station wearing sandals. Shinjuku station is the busiest train station in the world. Approximately 3.6 million people pass through per day. Not a good place to have nothing protecting your toes.

Good job that the girl who stood on my foot weighed 7 or 8 stone at the most.

I was only kidding, but I could understand in a big city how it would be different. I like 10 minutes from my old house.

I live about 5 minutes from my parents house. 5 more minutes and I'll be outside of my town.
