Tadaima

I've been back in Japan for less than a week now and have already had a lot of great experiences. On my first night back, we celebrated my wonderful roommate's birthday at our favorite local restaurant "Gaucho".
I went to meet a friend from Chicago at a great Izakaya, we made new friends and saw an impressive at the table magic show. I've made some great friends since living in Japan, I went with one of my closest to check out a festival in Yokokama. It was like a team dance competition, with amazing costumes.





We went to check out a bartending "flare" competition on Sunday. I spent a few years bartending in Hawaii, NYC and Chicago, so it was a lot of fun to watch these guys doing crazy tricks. Our friend's boyfriend won the event and will be going to the world championship competition!
