I’m currently on vacation in Japan. I’m in Tokyo and tomorrow I’m taking the Shinkansen to Kanazawa. On the subject of language I’m getting by just fine with maybe 10 phrases at most. As you know from your own travels in Japan their English can be patchy or even non existent. Next subject- In Hollywood they say it comes down to diet and I’m inclined to agree with them. I eat breakfast at the hotel and then one square meal usually a late lunch. Today it was sushi prepared fresh at the counter. Yesterday it was Ramen. Because I’m on vacation I also have a couple of beers. Back home I rarely drink. In Tokyo you do a lot of walking simply taking the subway so there’s your exercise.
