When wife is planning trip to Japan never yell out………..

[Darth-Baiter]

“Oh heck yes! I’m gonna find a Japanese fishing store!!”  Never yell this…ever. No fist pumping the sky. 

 

haha.  We are planning a trip to Taipei.  Just waiting to see if their government relaxes Covid protocols. They had 80 active cases in the entire country last week.  (We have that many at my company alone - haha).  
 

anyways if they do and Japan has the same restrictions, we may go.  My wife’s grandma is getting very old and my wife should go. I love grandma.  She’s been wonderful to me. Even though we can’t exchange a single word.

 

back to the fishing store.   Maybe not after the side-eye my wife shot at me.  Haha.  
 

I seriously doubt both countries will favor us traipsing around but we shall see. Long shot.

I'm sure Grandma would love to go to a fishing store, and buy you something for your birthday.

I've learned it's best to keep those things to yourself until you've found the right moment.  Before a trip, and even the first day or two, everyone is stressed out and you don't think there's going to be time for anything that's not on the itinerary.  But after a few days, things slow down, possibilities open up, and everyone is feeling more relaxed and open.  Sometimes a little bored even.  And that's the time to reveal your big plan.

Last time I was in Japan I dragged my wife around to look for Hattori Hanzo’s final resting place.  We found it, and the best Tonkatsu spot ever.  We had to order by pointing out other patrons dishes.   We were not in a tourist spot at all.  
 

‘’I really hope the fishing store is near a good restaurant.  Haha.

Not related to fishing at all, but I used to watch a TV show that was streamed which was called the Samurai Gourmet.  My son and I loved it and my wife thought it was the dumbest thing ever.  It was just a semi-reality show of a recently retired Japanese guy that wandered around town and would stop at local eateries for lunch or a beer.   Funny....
