Jet Lag


It took several days to get over the let jag from my London trip. So, it was pretty depressing to get back on a plane and fly to Tokyo. But, here I am.

I got in last night and went to visit my college roommate and his family. They always invite me to come over and eat with them when I'm here in Tokyo. As an added bonus, a long lost, mutual friend also joined us. That long lost friend is Japanese and a riot to be around. I'm not sure if it was the jet lag, but I really liked his socks.


After a great evening, I made my way back to my hotel in Shinagawa and crashed.

This morning, I woke up and decided to get a traditional Japanese breakfast - grilled salmon, rice, miso soup, Japanese pickles, and a soft boiled egg. What a difference from the traditional English breakfast I got in London.

Tell me what's on the green leaf. And is the egg in the soup? Looks delicious!

There is grated "daikon" radish on the green leaf. It has a pretty mild flavor.

The egg is in a broth of some kind, but it is room temperature.

It was a good and healthy breakfast!

You are probably back by now, but give my regards to Sting/Billy Idol if you see him again before leaving.

I saw Sting/Billy on Sunday night. He invited Big Y over! We took a picture and looked at some old slides of the Raider years.
