So here I am with another picture post friday. What happened on Friday?
What is becoming a routine (this being the 3rd time) I walked 15 minutes to a local Burger King for lunch and to spend some time in study. Additionally I use this opportunity to test my Japanese when ordering food. Today I was able to confirm that my lunch was eat-in, and that on my Whopper I wanted them to remove the mayo, add mustard, and extra pickles. My lines were something like this [with close to literal translation]:
“Hai, tennai de meshiagari desu. [yes, store at eat is]
Whoppa, mayo nuki. [Whopper, mayo remove]
Mustado ha arimasuka? [Mustard do you have?]
Mustado ha kuwaeru onegaishimasu. [Mustard add please]
To motto pikurusu. [And more pickles]
M saizu onion ringusu, [M size onion rings]
to M saizu jinja elu [and M size ginger ale]”
That is it in rough form… and it was a success. Next time I’m going to ask about free refills 
On the way back I passed 3 restaurants that sell fugu. Fugu is blowfish and is an interesting meal choice. If prepared incorrectly fugu can kill you because of the poison that is stored in the fish’s body. I’ve eaten fugu 1 time, and drank fugu sake once as well. Here is a photo of some fugu at one of the shops:
I was so proud of my accomplishment in surviving that dangerous dish that I registered the domain fugusoft.com, and have big plans for its existence.

Haha, awesome!! I had seen that fugu thingy on Discovery travel and living lolz
Interesting but kind of scary!! Was it good??
Glad to hear you can communicate now and order food there. It’s a big step!! Godo luck next time when asking about free refills!!
LAN party is this weekend and you’re going to miss it
I am sure you’d love to be there!! But at least you’re missing it because of a most important reason: your beautiful wife! 
<3 That’s so nice!

Fugu was good, but i dont recall any real taste.
I really wish i could be at the LAN… this is my first absence ever that I can recall… already missing the carnage. But some sacrifices must be made.
