Gah Japan!! 日本だべや！

It has been eighteen years, almost nineteen years since I moved to the beautiful State of Washington and fallen in love with the wonderful City of Seattle. But I have missed my home country, Japan. Yes, I was young and don't remember too much about it, and I have lived in America for most of my life but I still consider it my home. My pops and I left on October 9 and arrived in the future, October 10 in Tokyo Japan!

We pretty much had VIP status! We were even able to wait in a special room with free food and free drinks at the airport. Our seats on the plane were a lot roomier too and oh my, the amount of movies that was available was crazy. 

I watched Mad Max!! And Spy and Jupiter Ascending. Oh and free booze on the plane too! 

Also had blanket, pillow, eye mask and ear phones provided.  

About ten hours later....

Very nice guy, comes in almost every Saturday for lunch and sits in the exact same spot with water and tea. Seat number five at the counter. Usually he has a newspaper to read but it looks like he just has his cellphone today. Orders a Maguro Avocado Don with sushi rice and a smile on his face!

This guy comes in every now and then, usually with his girlfriend but looks like he's by himself today. Water and tea also and always orders the Spicy Vegetarian Don with some salmon added to it. Always! Since his lady is not here, today he is watching soccer on his phone. 

Some chick just snapped her fingers at me... IGNORE.

These two come in almost every Saturday! Older gentleman  and younger lady, I think it is a father daughter duo. I like that they come in every Sautrday for a lunch date. It's sweet. They always order random things but almost always seared albacore sashimi :) 

And that is my lunch shift. A little crazy today being the only server but not so bad overall. And now....on to the dreaded dinner shift!
