Samurai Sword, Armor and Ramen


Samurai Armor and SwordPosted by Hello

The Navy Lodge does a pretty good job of reminding you that you are in Japan with little window display of Japanese Samurai Armor and sword.

Last night, me and Soco went to the Ramen House, a 5 minute walk from our apartment. It was a nice little cozy place. In there, there were a couple of Japanese business men who got off late from work. They were slurping on some ramen and watching Japanese television. Soco noticed how fast they ate. While we were in there, Japanese men would come in, slurp up all their ramen, pay and leave. We must've been taking forever. It was really delicious (gochisoo sama deshita). I had Kimchi Ramen bowl and Soco had a porky seaweed ramen bowl. As an appetizer we had Goyza, also known as Chinese dumpling.

We both walked back home as full as can be and turned on our newly bought 20 inch flat screen LCD television. I hooked it up into the wall and I had all these Japanese television shows! I was intrigued by this one show which had two Korean guys in the ghetto streets of California. They worked as gas station attendants trying to make a buck. Amazingly, everyone spoke fluent Japanese! Even the Mexicans! These two Mexican guys drove up in their lowrider, filled up on gas and tried to drive away. The Korean guy ran and dived into the convertable and tried to pull the guy out of the car. The two big Mexicans got out of their car and got their ass whopped by the Judo master. I laughed when the Mexicans came back with all their tattooed Mexican friends. Of course, they all got their asses handed to them. All because of 6 bucks in gas money.
