Before she left we went to Salvatorie's pizzoria in Hon-Atsugi, one of a chain of resturants in Japan. Salvatorie grew up in Japan the son of an Italian father and Japanese mother. Unlike most pizza resturants/take away place in Japan he speciallises in Italian style pizza rather than your usual Pizza Hut/Dominos American style with lots of strong flavoured toppings. I do love a good Pizza Hut but it was nice to have something a littl more subtly flavoured. (Note: picture taken from the website!)
After Emi left I spend a few too many hours stealing cars, getting into gang shootouts and doing a bank job with a guy known as Packie (no, not in the rasist nick name for someone from Pakistan but short for an Irish chap called Patrick) - Yes I was playing Grand Theft Auto 4 again.
In the evening we rented The Italian Job, I thought it would be interesting film to watch as a climpse into UK culture.
Sunday morning was appartment tidy up time which I never enjoy but this was followed up with a reward for my trouble. I love ramen (noodles in soup) and Emi had discovered there was a ramen resturant just across the road from Hon-Atsugi station i.e. about 2 minutes walk from our apparetment! We headed off there for lunch and oy was it tasty! I recommend anyone visiting Japan to give it a try, particularly in one of the small ramen-only resturants rather than a normal type resturant.
In the afternoon we went shopping for some item required when my friends would come to visit - extra knifes and forks, extra set of bedding and a few other bits and pieces.
