Curry House CoCo Ichibanya Irvine, California

Elmo 2018-04-05

ココイチカレー、たまに無性に食べたくなる味。特に海外だと恋しく感じる。
CAには４店舗あるらしく、アーバイン店に行ってみた。
日本に住んでいた外国人にも人気があり、この味を求めて来るお客でいっぱい。
週末のお昼時は行列が出来ていた。
中国系と韓国系のレストランやショップに囲まれたショッピングセンター内にその店舗はあり、駐車場が無料なのがありがたい。

当たり前ですが英語のメニュー。辛さ・ご飯の量・トッピングを選べて比較的に日本とあまり変わらない。店員は地元の学生さんっぽい。
オーダーも英語のみ。でもアメリカにしてはサービスが良く、
注文するとすぐにカレーが運ばれてきたし、お水もすぐにお代わりを聞いてくれた。
でも店員さんを呼ぶあのチャイムがあったら便利なのになぁ〜。

肝心の味は「これよ！これ！」と安定のお味。
量は多いので食べきれず持ち帰れるか聞くと、To-Go Boxを持って来てくれた。
アメリカ式自分でやりなさいのあのお弁当箱だ。
値段はチップ料金が掛かるので日本より少々高く感じた。

Here are some sights around Ali Al Salem air base in Kuwait. As you can see there isn’t much to look at because it is all desert.

Death Road

Dave 2018-03-29

After Iraq invaded Kuwait and the United States forced the Iraqi military out of Kuwait while the Iraqi troops were retreating many were mowed down on what is known as “Death Road.”

Many of the tanks can now be found in tank dumps like these.

C-130 Aircraft

While at Ali Al Salem air base in Kuwait I got to see some C-130 aircraft. I even got to fly in the back of one as a force protection measure when leaving Kuwait.

Kuwaiti Towers

Dave 2018-03-25

While on temporary duty in Kuwait I was afforded the opportunity to go downtown and see the Kuwaiti Towers for myself. Here is a nice arial view of the towers. I’ll leave it up to you to decide what type of aircraft this photo was taken from. Here is also another photo taken while driving by.
