Pastries, the Japanese kind

For some reason, almost all the pastry shops in mainland Japan are inspired by the French. Lenotre Paris and Le Bon Pain are two huge franchises here. Where ever you see a French flag, you can almost guarantee that it is a bread store. Inside, there is all kinds of bread. Bread with curry (like a whole entire meal), cheese bread, garlic bread, sausage bread, just plain bread, etc... And it all looks so good. Shopping there is easy, just take a tray and tongs and load it up.

Me and Soco went back to that Taco Dario place in Yokohama's World Porters. The tacos weren't that bad although they used flour tortillas. I had a fish taco and Soco ate a chicken taco. The way the chicken was shreaded was real strange. Before ordering, we asked the Mexican lady if it was any good, her Spanish translated to, "Ehhhh... It's okay." And she was right.

We also went to an American style restaurant, California L.A.S.T. , I don't get why they call it that, but we had ceveche, guacamole, hamburgers and fries. And we sat right by a window which revealed the Yokohama pier and large farris wheel. Next to us was an annoying American trying to hook up with a Japanese lady. It seems to be very difficult since he has to speak to her with "baby talk" and "kindergarden English". I guess I can't blame a guy for trying.
