The difficult life of an english teacher in Japan. Work, work, work all the time. Never any chance to unwind, explore, or actually have a little fun. Ok, well sometimes, I manage to escape the monotous doldrums of the day to day and, just for a moment, see what Japan is really like. You guessed it--chopsticks and alcohol. P.S.-- "I've gone."

Me and a few of my friends/employees at our favorite izakaya (Japanese style bar with good food). We're making the kanji for "life" with our bodies, something that my friends Jon and Tadashi did often the last time I was in Japan. At this particular izakaya, Hyoutanya, you get three dishes and all you can drink for 90 minutes for 2100 yen (about $19). Pretty typical here, and we call it Nomihodai. Well, not just us, but the rest of the Japanese call it that too. Funny that.
