Lunch.

Satoshi is the guy who sets up all the stuff for us IES folks in Japan. He's hilarious, he's really nice, and likes to take advantage of the fact that IES will spend good money on us. Whenever we have a meeting or a place we have to meet for sometihng, he picks a nice nice restaurant and lets us eat a ton. Today we had our "IES Welcome Lunch" (even though we arrived almost a month ago). He picked this really nice place downtown and ordered all of us a Nomihodai (All you can drink). My table included myself, three other students, and occasionally Satoshi. We ripped up the food and drinks. We ate two smallish pieces of fried fish, a piece of tofu, a ton of edamame, followed by one spring roll each then we went through two Nabe (a giant pot filled with tons of veggies and meat), then two giant plates of Sweet and Sour Chicken, a giant pot of spaghetti and fish, dessert. I've never been so close to vomiting just from eating... yet I felt so great at the same time.

I can't wait to see how the rest of this trip unfolds.
