Dinner at Pivovar U Fleku. They’ve been brewing and serving their own dark beer for 500 years. The liquer in the shot glasses is Becherovka, an herbal bitters that is served cold and aids digestion. Prague, Czech Republic. October 2010.
I think this picture speaks for itself mostly. I can add that there were lots of McDonald’s in Tokyo and we did eat at one for dinner one night. We tried their spicy juicy chicken sandwich, which was okay I guess. It wasn’t exactly “fast” food. This particular restaurant was located between our hotel in Shinjuku and where Jeremy was working in the Yoyogi area. Tokyo, Japan. August 2008.
A convenient feature at many restaurants are the plastic food models on display outside. We did not encounter many English speakers, so it was nice to be able to point at what we wanted and have a pretty good idea of what we were going to get. If there weren’t plastic models, sometimes we got lucky and the menu had pictures or had an English version. Every meal I ate there was delicious; I never quite got over feeling awkward about not knowing more Japanese, but it was worth it to eat so well. Tokyo, Japan. August 2008.
