Chie and I met Martin and Ivan at the Chibo restaurant on the 38th floor of the Ebisu Garden Plasa. Ivan is a friend of Martin that just moved to Tokyo to work for Sony Ericsson as an “Expat”. Together we enjoyed okonomiyaki and talked.

After dinner Chie and I helped Ivan buy some medicine (è–¬) for his throat. He was sounding like someone drinking too much Whiskey and smoking too much cigarettes.

A funny thing about medicine in Japan is the kanji 薬 pronounced kusuri. It is a combination of the kanji for fun (楽) and the radical for grass (). So if you take some grass then you become happy.
