This past weekend, I went shopping in
Odaiba with a friend and we had burgers for lunch. I realized that because
there is always Japanese food available, when I meet up with friends they
usually want to eat non-Japanese food. I love both Japanese food and foreign
food so I am happy with either option. It’s surprising that I’ve had more
western food than I expected. But this is Tokyo, so it is easier to find
international food here compared to the countryside. I find it interesting that
most of the burger restaurants I’ve been to here in Tokyo are considered
Hawaiian food. However, hamburgers are more American and although people in
Hawaii eat hamburgers, it’s no more or less than other people in Americans. Nonetheless,
I enjoy living in a city where there are a lot of options for good
international food.
