It's the only meal that I had over there that you ate with a spoon. I also loved those (can't remember the name) cracker/cookie (kinda like a Triscuit) with a piece of sea weed on top.<br /><br />Vendors used to hit the bars selling snacks. One of those snacks was a piece of octopus in a sealed plastic bag. Man, did that ever stink.

Their kitchen smaller than my own apartment kitchen, it's service window a mere rabbit hole, the chef peeping through the hole not much taller than ourselves as children. And at night immediately outside on the tight winding streets, small men falling about the place drunk. Apparently that rice wine is killer.

A Japanese family seated nearby with a young boy. The boy stuck his hands into two dinner rolls and pretended they were boxing gloves and was going POW POW POW POW all over the place, sitting in his chair. The father a bit older than the woman just sat there looking straight ahead in complete stoic silence leaving all parenting to the tender patient administration of wife.<br /><br />I recalled a time our family went into one of those slurpy noodle places. We were all seated around a table, we took up nearly half the space of the tiny closet-size restaurant in Tokyo. Beverly was acting up, as she does, figuring she can get away with pretty much anything in public. My dad got up from his seat and walked over to Beverly without saying a word, The whole place ceased slurping, silence reigned supreme for that moment in the noodle slurp house, all eyes on my dad. Dad gently pinched Beverly's chin, as if to set her jaw aright, then sat down. The next moment the noise of slurping resumed. <br /><br />I'm certain they found that amazing, for the man of the household to take child-disciplinary action. The exact opposite of the Japanese family in Banf.Chip Ahoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12597726289890879627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-44161979393737235772014-05-31T23:14:52.458-04:002014-05-31T23:14:52.458-04:00lol it's a gag, right?lol it's a gag, right?deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00305989647913371151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-33690113067238450072014-05-31T21:27:05.012-04:002014-05-31T21:27:05.012-04:00So they keep their appearance modest and demure.
