Gamarjobat

Left office early. Already at 4 pm. I met Chie in Shinagawa station. Together we went to the New National Theatre where we found a corner by ourself to have picnic.

Maybe you already realized that the picnic was not the main reason for going to the New National Theatre. We went there to watch the 10th Anniversary show of Gamarjobat with Club Leo.


Gamarjobat

1.5-2 hours of laughing. No need to go to the gym for abs training this weekend. It’s kind of difficult to describe Gamarjobat and the guest performers they had today. You have to watch them. But it is kind of silent comedy, or rather comedy without words because it is not really silent. Especially not tonight with their two guests that built their whole performance on sound.

After the show we all went to ChakaChaka in Shinjuku area to have dinner. We had various dishes and talked mostly about Non’s work colleague that new she wanted to go to the Gamarjobat show but arranged so that Non could not leave her office until already an hour into the show. So she missed it.

Anyway, we will have a new chance to see Gamarjobat in February. But not the 10th Anniversary show. Then it is the Japan Tour show. The rumor is that they will do a special edition of the “Boxer” 🙂 A great performance based on Rocky.

Yasaka

The day before going to San Francisco… What better to do than to go to Yasaka for dinner. Delicious as always. And fun as always. Besides the good feed, the people working there, and especially the owner, are crazy funny.

Jojoen

We were up for some meat for today’s dinner. Chie and I went to Jojoen a quite nice yaki-niku (BBQ) restaurant in Naka-Meguro. We ate until we were so full we hardly could walk out of there. Yummy!

Club Leo @ Pescaderia Ginza

Left office at 5:30 pm. Directly after a meeting. As usual I used the Yamanote-sen, but today I went in the opposite direction to Yurakucho. Meeting Chie and Club Leo at POescaderia at 7 pm.

First I stopped at Tokyu Hands (yes, Tokyu as in the company Tokyu and not Tokyo as this small town is called :-)). I needed some more paint for the repainting job I am doing in Chie’s appartment. And I wanted a new brush as well.

Then I got lost in Ginza. Or rather I could not find my way to Pescaderia. It was a long time since I last visited and I mistook which area it is located in.

A phone call to Chie and I was on my way. Last to arrive. But we still had a good time. With good food. And celebrating Non’s birthday.


Happy Birthday Non! Club Leo

Afterwards Chie and I took the subway home and taxi from Naka-meguro station. We were too tired after a long workweek to walk home.

Red Pepper

After our short visit to “Paris” we went to Red Pepper in Ebisu to meet Chie’s mother. Then we walked to Red Pepper for dinner. Yummy!
