Yesterday Lena decided to pick a place for dinner out of the guide. The place she chose supposedly had an English menu but didn't have an English sign outside. Since Tokyo can boast one of the most bizzare building numbering schemes, we did not want to trust our dinner chances just to the address, so Lena copied down the Japanese sign to the best of her calligraphic abilities and we went searching. There we were, walking down the street, Lena busy carefully inspecting all the signs, me just trailing along. At this one spot she decided to ask for my advice, which I readily offered saying that to me it looks just right (those wiggles all look the same to me, to be quite frank). Wrong answer, apparently, because I was told I was crazy and then dragged on farther. Two blocks later, when we finally started paying attention to the numbers, we figured out that we must have missed our destination and after some hesitation decided to turn back. Well, after realizing that it indeed was possible to follow blocks 3-9 and 3-8 with a 3-4, we located the restaurant easily enough. You probably have guessed by now, it was the exact same spot I mentioned earlier and had Lena listened to me it would have saved us some fruitless wondering around. As it was, I got something to gloat about for the rest of the evening. Food, btw, was terrible, by the end of dinner I was wishing we never found the place.
