Gourmandise...

Day 511:

I've been eating way too much, but with all this good food being placed in front of me how am I supposed to resist? This was breakfast.

On our way back from the market, we came across this pizza food truck and I just had to stop.

This is Tony. At first he looked like he didn't want anything to do with me. I couldn't understand what he was saying and he couldn't understand what I was saying. But after he figured out that I was Japanese things got a little better. I still couldn't understand what he was saying and he still couldn't understand what I was saying, but at least now he had a smile on his face.

This is Kebab pizza!!!

Back at the house, we made some more instant tsukemen.

Isn't this beautiful?

Yes this is.

This is Foie gras!!!

Because my new French friends were giving me so much, it was time to give them a taste of what rules my life. So I made them a bowl of ramen and they seemed to love it.

JMarc especially couldn't get enough.

Way to go JMarc!

This makes me very happy...

Auf wiedersehen...

Day 510:

I don't want to leave Switzerland, but I must. I wonder if anyone will notice if I smuggle this bread.

My aunt cooked us some spicy spaghetti for lunch and it was delicious. Perfect for the long drive back to France. Btw, if you ever drive through Switzerland don't forget to buy a vignette!

Bye bye Basel.

Did you know that McDonald's signs in Europe are green?

After a leisurely 4-hour drive through Switzerland, we decided to stop in Geneva for some food. Girlfriend was craving Thai noodles but we could only find a place that had soup without noodles.

I just got some egg rolls.

Later we found a Chinese restaurant with soup noodles.

It wasn't exactly ramen, but close enough.

Close enough...

We finally made it back to France. Now time for the Maximator!

For the record, it tasted like **** but it gets you ****** up fast.

Bonjour...

Day 505:

Well, I'm in France. And no, the ramen dream will not end here. This is just a mere hiccup driven by love.

This is the French palace I will be staying in. It's over 200 years old and has history written all over it. The French family I will be staying with are some of the most beautiful people (inside and out) I've ever met. To welcome a stranger into their home and treat me like a king is more than I could have ever imagined.

My consecutive days streak of eating ramen for the past year and a half or so will come to an end today, but at least it's not too crowded here. Breakfast was simple and romantic. France is a beautiful country.

Nina the cat was awaiting our presence.

And this small town somewhere between Lyon and Grenoble is as relaxing as it gets.

I love how everything is built with stones here.

Off to the market!

11.6%? Damn!

Hooray! My luggage finally arrived! Time to change my underwear! haha.

Wine, salami, cornichons, fromage.

Bonne nuit...
