One Cup for me! Hahaha.

On the walk over to the club, we stopped at a store to buy some booze so we could do a little pre-show warm up. We were too full to drink anymore beer, so we were totally psyched when Andy found these to-go jars of sake! One Cup for you!

Rob and Atsuko's apartment was towards the top of a huge, residential skyscraper and there was a 24-hour snack shop (sort of like a 7-11) on the ground level. Mike, Andy and I went down there to do some late night exotic snack shopping. Here's our bounty.

After dinner and a few drinks, we decided to call it an early night because Mike, Andy and I had to get up super early the next morning to catch our flight to Tokyo! On the way back to the hostel, I stopped in a store and decided to pick up a Korean souvenir for my family. I decided on this tasty dish. Any guesses as to what it is? Well, if you guessed...

Here's another awesome example of what Koreans think white people look like. Hahahah. (Too bad it's pretty much spot-on).

The next morning I learned the hard way why a gallon of that mystery liquor only cost $8. ("Ow, myfuckinghead!!!"). Thankfully, the little snack-shop inside our school sold something called "Hangover Solution Dawn 808." At first I was skeptical, but much to my surprise Dawn 808 fixed me right up. I just Googled it and found out that they have since started selling it in the US. I visited their website totally learned about how it works:

Well, if you guessed "Peanut Buttered Roast Squid," you are CORRECT, sir! (I literally blew my kids' minds when I told them I didn't like the peanut buttered squid. They were like "Why teacher, why? It's sooooo good!"

...I decided to sample some of the local amusement park delicacies. I was craving a funnel cake, but couldn't find one so I ended up having to settle for this. Can you use the illustrations on the box to guess the tasty treat inside? (The answer was in English on the reverse side).

Me about to eat some sort of corn-fried mystery food.

One of the best things about Jamaica is the locals and their kindness and awesome accent. I love when things are spelled like they're spoken - for example: Sof Drink! Hahah.

Complete with an eensie-weensie juice box with a bearded wood-elf? He loves him some juice!

Ever the intrepid fast-food connoisseur, I eschewed some of the finer Estonian eateries and opted instead to check out (Estonia's very own??) HESS BURGER. Mmmm...tastes just like home, except, um, different and deliciously weird. After I finished eating I noticed it was starting to get dark so I went back to Vana Tom to read for a while and take a little nappity nap.

No idea what this is. I'm starting to understand why Brian always keeps notes when he travels.
