So far, other than looking for jobs, I have spent a lot of time walking around aimlessly. A good bit has changed in Yokosuka in just a couple years. There are a lot of new businesses up, and some are gone. I've spent too much money lately eating out so I need to cut back for now, but I had a lot of food I needed to re-eat haha.
I met up with my buddy Zee (ALLTHATLOW) and one of his friends for ramen the other day. This spot was really good it was near kitakurihama station. A good ramen spot will allow you to pick you noodle firmness, broth strength and fat content, and sometimes whether you prefer thick or thin noodles. I like very firm and thick broth, extra fatty lol. This was their shoyu chashu ramen.
This is a pic of the neighborhood I am currently staying in.
I went on a long walk the other day, about 8 miles, and this is the view as you leave the neighborhood. It is up on a hill so you have a nice view looking into Tokyo bay.
One of the main streets along the water here in Yokosuka. I used to run on this trail everyday as my apartment was really close by to here before. It's really weird to be back here.
There is a small crossing bridge outside the military base here where I snapped a quick pic.
I had chicken katsu curry with veggies the other evening for dinner.
Yesterday I went to China town and Minatomirai area and when I was walking around I seen this building. I thought it was really neat. It looks kind of English.
Getting close to China Town. Yokohama's china town is very nice and is a huge attraction for even Japanese people. You can get tons of authentic food and lots of the street style foods as well.
I bought one of these for 100円, its called a goma dango, although they are actually Japanese. It is like a fried mochi on the outside covered in sesame seeds and filled with sweet bean.
I had tantanmen ramen in china town. The set came with ramen, fried rice, fried chicken, 2 dumplings, tofu and a fruit bowl for dessert. This whole set was only 800円, roughly $8usd.
There is a lot of nice walking area around Yokohama. This was approaching Minatomirai as you can see the ferris wheel and shopping area in the distance. It's raining outside now, but luckily I stayed pretty dry yesterday.
I found this pretty funny. At the conbini I went in to get a drink and as you can see you have water, tea, beer, chu-hai ect.. then at the bottom there is a bottle of Dom Perigon for like $250usd.. I guess that is how you know you are in the ritzy area of town, never know when you might run out of Dom and have to make a quick pickup.
Lastly I finished my night with a small plate of sushi and a beer.
The end.
