Really liked Kirakuya Japanese restaurant – they had yummy nasu dengaku (grilled eggplant with miso topping), nabeyaki udon noodle, and everything else we had was just really good. The place made me feel as if I was in Tokyo.

On my way back, I thought of Ben Folds’ song “Adelaide”.

It goes,

A voice says
Why Adelaide
You could live anywhere and I say
Because I want to
Because I want to
I really really want to

Why Tokyo? Why NY? Because you want to.

(btw. Ben Folds no longer lives in Adelaide but see Wikipedia for details if you’re curious.)
