For want of a camera

Last night we went out for dinner. We went to a traditional Japanese restaurant in Omura. I was excited to finally have real sushi. We ordered our meals, myself with a nice mix of sushi, tempura, soup, sashimi, a fish(a whole fish - head and all), and a small salad. A few minutes later we were served our appetizer. A live squid. I have never seen anything like it before. They litterally served this 20 inch squid to us while it was still alive. It had been skinned and had its body sliced from neck to tail. At first I thought it was dead, and then I saw it move a tentical. It was still changing colors and moved any time you touched its head. It was quite yummy, and was the first time I ever ate anything that watched me eat itself.

Off to Japan

Well it has always been a dream of mine to travel to Japan. Japanese is probably my favorite food (I love sushi), and the country has always seemed to be beautiful. Well now is my chance. Monday I was told that I was flying to Japan on Tuesday to go work on a system we have in Japan. The unfortunate part is that I will not get much time to go play, and when we are done I will be coming right home...
