I have this one guy at work who asked if I'm not getting married yet, shouldn't I hurry up etc. (he's 15 years older than me and not married), and told my boyfriend the first time he met him to better break up with me if he didn't intend to marry me.

It was just super awkward because I was there with boyfriend's mother and sister, which prompted the old lady to ask if that means we're getting married just as I was stuffing my face.

My boyfriend took me there twice and last year, I went with his mother, which made for a really fun episode. ^^; The Taiwanese lady runs it all by herself and lectures you while you eat, but holy turtle, the food is amazing.Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06615046738488357378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6239774207937548463.post-9718177533990109512016-02-07T03:56:05.899-07:002016-02-07T03:56:05.899-07:00Yes, thank goodness for Google maps!!!

I still eat eggs, though not a lot and only free-range etc. I'm also baking vegan lately because I found some great recipes and I felt bad for my vegan colleague when everyone brought their buttery cakes to work. Actually, I find a lot of Taiwanese cuisine in Tokyo (I think I mentioned a couple of places to you?) does eggs, but no dairy, so I should maybe just adopt their style of cooking.<br /><br />Seriously, Tokyo is a maze. I wonder how people ever got anywhere before Google Maps.Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06615046738488357378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6239774207937548463.post-53976983909498285812016-02-07T03:08:31.628-07:002016-02-07T03:08:31.628-07:00Hi Julia,

...Hi Julia,<br /><br />LOL what is "half-vegan"? xD<br /><br />Yes, unfortunately I find many big buildings around here maze-like, and I don't know if that's to test the rat in us or what, to see if we could find our way to the cheese? Counter-intuitiveness is a sign of bad design, and yet it's so prevalent in a city with a reputation for futuristic technology and creativity. I just don't get it! Gah!<br /><br />>.<"<br />D.

I wonder how it would go that I'm half-vegan... <br />The hotel is a maze, we almost didn't find out anymore.
