baptism of fire..

Posted in Japan, in English at 22:00 by foppel

So, I went to that Yakitori-shop again which I found yesterday.

This Yakitori-shop is run by a family who’s really nice.. Dad grills the meat, mother, aunt and daughters wait the guests, and the young apprentice is messing up the orders…

When I went there a second time today, the welcome was even louder and warmer.. it seems that foreigners are seldom but appreciated guests here

I read my orders from the japanese menu, which seemed to impress the guy sitting next to me..

After my second beer he ordered a beer for me and told me how cool he thinks it is that I do this tour and odering in japanese and everything..

Now you can imagine, discussing stuff in Japanese with a slightly drunk guy, while being slightly drunk myself can be considered a baptism of fire, don’t you think? His son, who arrived a bit later, helped by forming simpler sentences for me… but it was in japanese nontheless..

After another beer, he then left as he didn’t seem to have the stamina of a german when it comes to beer

I really liked that place… But I have to leave for Kyoto tomorrow, realising that nearly half of my vacation is already over…
