Sit back and relax...

Day 138:

"Sit back and relax. Let me make you something." That's what my boss said when it came time for us to eat our nightly makanai (free meal).


I was afraid at first, but I have to admit that this aptly named rice burger was quite good.


"Sit back and relax. I'll make you my specialty." That's what Kawagoe-san, the manager of nearby Ichiryu, said to me after inviting me to an after-work party and hearing that I never tried their ramen before.


Ichiryu has been getting some bad reviews lately, but this ramen was actually pretty awesome.


When I talked to Kawagoe-san about the bad press, he said it's because he hasn't been the one making the ramen lately.


That will change come April. Kawagoe-san will be manning the shop full-time in order to try and steal customers from nearby Bassanova. Haha, good luck!

"Sit back and relax. I ain't going anywhere." That's what my bike said to me when the back tire refused to stay inflated.

So yeah! Wherever you are, I hope you get a chance to sit back and relax too...
