DInner on my own.

Tonight I ventured out on my own for dinner, it was rather fun, but I had to play it safe and eat something familar, Pizza! It was only ok. I went to this restaurant across the street from my hotel. It was filled with lots of men in business suits and a table with two ladies who appeared to have met up for dinner. I was worried that they wouldn't understand what I was requesting or that I would be able to read the menu, luckily it was in English and I could point to what I wanted to eat. I think that this is the first time that I have ever eaten at a restaurant alone before, normally if I want to eat out, I will order take-out. I figured that would be too hard to figure out here. I was looking at the menu and realized that only in Japan would a glass of beer cost less than a glass of pop or juice or anything other than water. So I felt that it was my duty to save the company money tonight. :-) While I was eating dinner, a man passed my table and he said something to me as he was passing, I just smiled and nodded, my normal response these days. I tried to imagine what an english speaking person might say with the same facial expressions and I think that he said either You fat cow your eating that whole pizza yourself, or he said, you can always count on pizza no matter where you go in the world. HAHA, I have no idea what he said but at least he was smiling.
