Few Nukes hit the Town - Final Thoughts

Crazy, Crazy Pizza

October 13th, 2008

My Twiget Nuke Son’s final episode of his first impressions of Japan. One of the great things about the Navy is the opportunity it provides to experience cultures outside our own – it broadens our service men and women view of life unlike any other profession can.

“We walked around for what seemed like forever. My feet hurt, and we finally decided to call it a night and go to our hotel. The rooms were large enough for a twin bed and the ability to walk between the bed and the walls/desk and that was it. The bathroom was only slightly smaller then the room itself. It had one of those fancy toilets with the buttons and gadgets on the side. One of them being a bidet, which I was too wierded out to try.

We went for dinner at this one restaurant that had a picture menu. (for ease of use. Otherwise we may have picked something not at all what we wanted). One of the things one the menu was small pizza. I was like wow, yay, pizza! So, I got that as a sort of appetizer for everyone. When it arrived it was pizza alright, but had large potato squares poking out of the cheese and when you bit into it, you found that there was a layer of white in the pizza. I was like “I can’t place this flavor…” and it was jimmy who said it was mayo. I was like “Mayo!? On Pizza?!?!” *still stunned* And whats funny is that in our cultural brief prior to getting to Japan the guy had said that pizza in Japan is much different and even Domino’s doesn’t have like a normal “pepperoni pizza” it had crazy crazy pizzas that put your “crazy” Hawaiian pineapple jalapeño pizza to shame. He was right.

But anyways. First impressions of Japan -> It was awesome! And Amazing, and even though 8-10 hours of the first two days were spent on trains, it was still one of the better experiences in my life.”
