Foreign Registration, Freshness Burger
Quick post, but full of content.
Today we took the “Hachiko” (read this for more information) bus to Shibuya city hall to get my foreign registration card and take care of some more paperwork (never enough!). Here it is in all its glory:
After taking care of everything at the city hall we wanted a quick lunch - and ended up finding a small place called “freshness burger” - which appears to be a chain restaurant, although I have never seen another.
Just to show how important katakana can be to the westerner - take a look at this menu. If you could read katakana you would have very little problem ordering here. 95% of the menu is in katakana. Can you read any of them? Give it a try - here is a link to a katakana chart so you can lookup the sounds.

Scott, I was extremely honored when I saw this comment today - it surely has been a long time since we’ve caught up, and for you to find my blog and contact me - what a pleasant surprise!! You give too much praise for my work, it is very kind, but honestly without all my friends and family I am nothing. Besides, we all have so much ahead, who knows what we will do in the time that is still given to us?
Basketball, now those are some good memories!!! Richland park ahhhh… =)
Hey, i’m going to shoot you an email so we can catch up.
