And thus concludes a crazy week with Georg. We hit the clubs, the baseball stadium, and even a Kabuki show. The photos above show Georg experiencing a train beer, common among drunk salarymen. The next photo shows Georg, Sachie, and I, at a yaki-nikku restaurant. Yaki-nikku is like a personal bbq, where they bring you raw meat on a plate and you grill it and eat it. The only difference between here and America in these restaurants is the inslusion of body parts beyond just the meat. Sachie ordered a large plate of intestines, and a large plate of(direct translation here) hormone, which looked like a pile a chicken ovaries. We gave everything a shot, though I made a sneaky move and avoided the hormone, I figure I have enough of that. When we finished off just about everything, Georg realized we still had some hormone and intestine left, so he took to roasting the last few pieces. The photo above shows Georg in action. The rest of the photos are from the baseball game in Yokohama, where we witnessed the Yokohama Baystars vs. The Carps(wherever they’re from). I’ll go into further detail about the madness of baseball games in Japan later, but for now, I’ll say only one thing, they gave us free paper cups at the front gate for the bags of beer we carried in. Rock and roll!!!!!
