A Night Out in Nashville

Dave

I spent a night out in Nashville, Tennessee tonight. First started by walking around to get an idea of the city. Then went over to Coyote Ugly to check out the scene in there. After that I ended up bar hopping to different locations that had different music, bands, and other entertainment. Here are the photos from this experience.

Tokyo Hooters

Dave

Some buddies and I heard that they recently opened a Hooters restaurant in Tokyo, so we decided to go check it out.  Here was some of the waitresses.  The food was good and decently priced, but the weird thing was that the waitresses started dancing and you couldn’t film it or take photos of it as they were dancing.  This is weird because being in the land of Asian’s who take photos of literally everything this must be some kind of illegal dance or something.

Maruya Ramen

Here is a ramen shop that I enjoyed frequenting. There is nothing better than getting a nice warm bowl of ramen and a cool autumn or a cold winter day. This ramen shop has some original bowls or ramen with lots of vegetables inside. It was very good. Here is one of my photos of chyashu ramen (Pork Ramen). If you’re in the area or interested in eating here, you can find more information at the link below:

Thai Food

Dave

Today I went to a Thai restaurant in Japan. My favorite Thai food dish is called “Neung Kapow.” It is made with beef and it has chili peppers, basil, fish sauce, and oyster sauce and it is usually served over rice. This restaurant calls the dish “Khaw Kra Pow + Khai Dow” and they serve it with an egg. Here is a picture of what it looks like on this menu.

In the Kanagawa prefecture of Japan, this is one of my favorite ramen shops. They have a great pork based soup with a big bowl of ramen and some delicious chyashu (pork slices) put in the soup. If you’re ever in the area, I strongly recommend stopping by and giving it a try. Here is the address so you can put it into your navigation or smartphone. Here is a photo of my favorite bowl of ramen.

Great Buddha (Daibutsu)

Dave


Rode the train to the Kamakura station to get a first hand look at the Great Buddha or Daibutsu in Japanese. This buddha was made out of bronze and you can go inside of it which is a pretty neat experience. Once inside if you touch the bronze that the sun is beating down on it is hot to the touch, but if you touch the side that is away from the sun it is cold to the touch. This buddha was created in 1252 and stands approximately 13.35 meters tall.

SlamFest

Dave

I got a ticket to go to the SlamFest that is being held on Camp Zama, Japan. This is like the Japanese WWE wrestling. It was a cool event that was put on for the United States and Japanese military and their families. It was a lot of fun and had some (quite literally) big stars. After the event they were signing autographs and shaking hands. It was definitely a really cool event and here are my photos of this experience.
