Phrases I miss saying...
"I'd like the eggs benedict, but instead of benedict I'd like them scrambled and instead of spinach I'd like ham and could you add a side of bacon with that"
Instead now all I can muster is pointing and a hopeful grin. I'd love to order a burger medium or know what the specials are as well. oh well....

At one place we went, we were struggling REALLY bad with the menu (as opposed to the normally really bad.) The server very politely waved for us to follow him. He then walked us over to the big showcase of plastic food. Although I totally thought he was going to just show us another place to go eat.
*In my head*
Server walks us to map of the earth. Points to America. "Kaeru".
Ham *and* bacon in the same dish? J, you are my hero.
from mhairi - martin just told me about your move and your blog - how are you both??
am v v jealous about the move - i'm currently obsessed with the street fashion culture that used to be around harajuku.
i've also moved, to crewe, not quite as glamorous, but still fairly exotic :-)
please tell me that shinkansen and 99-yen stores are not as good i think they are!
Hey Mhairi!
I'm ashamed to say that we haven't been on the shinkansen yet, but we DEFINITELY will before the year is up. 99-yen stores? they're pretty elusive actually. It's been hard tracking them down but we'll post details of the the good ones we've found before our time is up here. Maybe you should come visit us so you can check them out for yourself!
I'm guessing the harajuku fashion you are referring to is that of the 50's style rockers back in the eighties no?
By the way: been to any allnighters in Crewe lately? Drop me an email so we can catch up!
