Japanese Food

I friggin' love Japanese food. Infact i have only had one western meal so far, which was... Ok, i'll admit it, McDonalds....

Food here is pretty cheap. They have these fast food style noodle bars where you can get a feed from as little as 350 Yen (~AU$3.50). I have been visiting these places every night for dinner, it almost works out cheaper than preparing a meal- plus i am lazy... Cooking doesn't seem as enjoyable when you are couped up in a kitchen that barely fits one person.


THERE ARE THREE STEPS FOR ENJOYING A MEAL AT YOUR LOCAL NOODLE BAR

1) Look at the plastic replicate dishes displayed in the window to see what is on offer



2) Place your order- you don't even talk to anyone to do this. You simply select your desired meal from the buttons on the vending machine, put your money in, and it spits out a ticket, which you give to the staff.

3) In less than five minutes you will have yor meal. Pretty bloody good for 700 Yen.


P.S Went out last night to the infamous 'Roppongi' (its where all the foreigners living in Tokyo, and Japanese who want to meet foreigners, go to party). Its pretty crazy but i'm getting a little sick of it. Another area of Tokyo, Shibuya, supposedly also has crazy bars and clubs but less foreigners so might trek there next time.

P.P.S. Also havn't managed to go for a surf yet. It's gonna cost me 3000 Yen in trains fairs everytime i go surfing!! I can't afford that so i need to find someone who surfs and has a car.
