Vera’s (kinda) last day.
Hello, again, Yokohama.
I’ve been here 10 days now. It’s all a jumble in my head, but there are a few things I can say for sure:
.
1. The standards and work at Tezuka are much more intense than Fujimoto but more rewarding
2. Hanabi is a wonderful, terrible, confusing mess
3. My laptop is dead
4. Japanese people don’t eat anything but meat and carbs
5. Tsukemen is the tastiest combination of meat and carbs
.
I’m not sure what to do now that Optimus (my globe trotting 4 year old monster laptop) is defunct. Will get back to you. Now, some pictures:
Ie, sweet ie. (Oyamadai)
Hanabi (Futako Tamagawa)

Probably won’t be posting too often. Hope you’re all doing well and taking care.. heading to the beach now. Ttyl.
