It's vacation time for me in Japan, and I figure it's time to spend my free time learning a few things. I'm reviewing some of my Japanese grammar and vocabulary, but I really have a couple of things I want to learn ASAP. First off, I'll have as much as a month's time to travel outside the country, so I wanna visit China to see a bunch of friends I haven't seen in a couple of years. Thailand and Vietnam also sound appealing as well, but I'll need some tips on getting around. Wanna get a tour of the local cuisine especially.
Speaking of which, that's the other thing I want to learn. I can bake pastries just fine back in America, but living without an oven, I need to expand to the stovetop. I've found recipes of all sorts of foods I love from back home, but I have a hard time finding many of the same ingredients in Japan. As such, if anybody has had the experience of cooking western food in Japan, I'd love some help learning what I can actually make over here. Maybe I should just accept that I'm here and start cooking Japanese cuisine.

Well sure, I can add boiling water to a variety of instant noodles, instant curry, instant soup, etc., but what about some good ol' とんかつ, eh? Or any of the other fine meat selections at the neighborhood Friendly Nanbu? Breakfast isn't so much a problem as is dinner, though my eggs could use some work too.
you can cook? make me dinner!
i hear you're single again. . .

Haha I'm getting there. I've become an expert at making sweet desserts even without an oven... but meat still gives me problems. It's good to hear from you, but how'd you hear I was single? This is like... breaking news. I guess you either have your sources, or never knew about my last girlfriend. Funny thing is, breaking up seems to have been a prerequisite for the two of us actually getting along.
