They're certainly sticklers for tradition. Unlike me- I'll eat anything. When I run out of food, I make spaghetti with peanut butter, or ketchup sandwiches. PudgyM- Yeah, everyone was going nuts about the footy when I was at home. My brother in law was mortified that my sister's wedding was on the same day as one of the matches. I forgot about the Club World Cup. It'd be good to attend that. HeadBang8- You’re right. They’re certainly sticklers for tradition. Unlike me- I’ll eat anything.

Either Chelsea or Manchester United are going to be in Japan in December in the FIFA Club World Cup. Which hopefully, I will get to cover.

Number one, nobody is fussy enough about fresh fish. Never eat sushi more than 100 km from the sea, he says. Secondly, the Japanese detest Japanese fusion restaurants--like Nobu and Wagamama. You don't mess with authentic food. My Japanese other half seldom eats Japanese food outside Japan.

There is actually a sort of hidden Japanese community in London. I knew a Japanese girl who lived there and worked in a Japanese hostess bar and went to the karaoke box every week. I have no idea where either of these institutions are! Yeah, I heard there was even a Book Off in New York.

New York has a lot more than the UK it seems and it cheaper. Man that isn’t nearly enough to satisfy though when you have lived in Japan. New York has a lot more than the UK it seems and it cheaper.
