Club Leo Going to Freakonomics

Met with Non and Ryo today as part of our monthly Club Leo meeting. This time we went to Shinjuku to watch the movie Freakonomics. The movie was quite boring and it was difficult to understand what they wanted to say with each of the different “stories”.

I am saying this as a listener of the Freakonomics audio book by the same authors. The book is so much better in many aspects. The “stories” are much better and so is the connection between cause and effect that they are explaining. It is fun listening. The movie… Well, both Chie and I fell asleep in the middle of it. Maybe that say it all 🙂

After the movie we all went to a Korean restaurant about 10 minutes walk from the Shinjuku station. The food was quite tasty and we had a fun time, as always.



When we arrived we were so hungry so we ordered a lot of food. Too hungry it turned out, because there was a big gap between what we thought we could eat when we were so hungry and what we actually could eat. In the end we were to full to finish with the traditional Korean noodle dish that we usually finish with 🙁



On our way back to Shinjuku station we were passed by many policemen. And we could se police busses with bared windows everywhere. It turned out that there was a anti-nuclear power demonstration. The police was there to keep everything in order.



We watched for a few minutes. Not much happened. We went home instead 🙂

Club Leo at Tani Kitchen

Chie and I met with Club Leo (Non and Ryo) in Hibiya today. First we went to the The Kids are Alright movie. Quite interesting movie about a lesbian couple with two kids searching for their real father, and the consequences of finding him.



Afterwards we took the train to Omori and the Tani Kitchen. A Thai restaurant with some really decent food.



As usual was impossible to get any good pictures of Ryo and Non 😉

Club Leo at Il Lupone

At 6 pm we met Club Leo (Ryo and Non) at Il Lupone for dinner. Usually we meet with them about once a month but it has been almost 2-3 months since we last met now. It was fun to see them again.



We had so much good food at Il Lupone, as usual 🙂 Including past and pizza. Most of it did not have any meet in it as we tried to keep the intake of protein to a minimum. The reason for this is that Non has got an illness so she need to keep her protein intake down to 40 g per day. She brought a dietetics book explaining e.g. protein content of different types of food. It was interesting to see that octopus, something I think many Swedish body builders would not eat, actually have a much higher level of protein compared to egg, which is something the same bodybuilders have nothing against eating raw 🙂



We finished the dinner with very yummy desserts. I had vanilla ice cream with 2 blueberries and a strawberry, and half of Chie’s panna cotta 🙂

Club Leo at Ron-R

We met with Club Leo today. No movie as we usually do, but just straight to dinner at Ron-R.



It was fun and tasty 🙂

Yodakimpo with Club Leo

Today we did not go to the movies, though we met with Club Leo. Since it was the last meeting of the year Kumi-san joined. She is usually too busy and lives quite far outside of Tokyo. But for our year-end meeting she usually joins.

We did not go to the movies but we spent the whole night at Yodakimpo eating delicious food until we could not eat anything more. Not even a tiny little mint chocolate. At least not without exploding 😉



We had a fun time. Afterwards Chie and I walked home in the dark Tokyo night.
