Each of the two Japanese gentlemen with me had been served the same plate. They, of course, popped their version of whatever-it-was in their mouths with their chopsticks immediately.

As I suggested, he was a worthy opponent.Berownehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09524661173663604641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-920306086483142224.post-27375322103611849862009-12-27T18:27:08.238-05:002009-12-27T18:27:08.238-05:00I love the description of the on-plate tourney!I love the description of the on-plate tourney!Kevin Musgrovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14472110857057175327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-920306086483142224.post-70626311458745965962009-12-27T18:18:52.691-05:002009-12-27T18:18:52.691-05:00>> You are very bold and brave. <<
