Celebrations
On the evening of 10th December we went out to Akasaka to celebrate arriving in Tokyo, completing 14 days of quarantine and our 37 years wedding anniversary. All three together … I must be a cheap date!
But what an incredible meal. We went to a teppanyaki restaurant where the chef cooks using an iron plate, set into the table, in front of us.
Cooking scallops and prawns 
Veggies with some dipping sauces 
Sirloin steak
This is the only meal I have eaten when the chef wanted a photograph of us with him; I hope he wasn’t too disappointed when he finds out that we’re not remotely famous!
Did you know that Japanese chopsticks tend to be slightly shorter and more pointed than Chinese chopsticks? This is probably because the Japanese diet consists of large amounts of whole bony fish and the tapered ends make it easier to remove the small bones.
The excitement of seeing lights & street scenes! 
What a great idea …. lights around the opened taxi door

Happy anniversary, Avril! What a wonderful adventure to be kicking off your 38th year together.
I’d noticed the differences in the chopsticks. I think you might be right about why.
Thanks Joyce. I feel so lucky to have this adventure ahead of me. And we need to buy some chopsticks for our apartment!
