Hello there, it’s Anand as always. I hope you are enjoying yourselves despite the hammering rain. Once again my were plans were changed at the last minute. I was supposed to meet my friend who was visiting from America this weekend. Or that’s what I thought. See, he told me that he was coming in on “the 19th.” But he didn’t tell me he was coming on NOVEMBER 19th. So weekend was looking to be quite a boring one. But thankfully one of my best friends came to the rescue and invited me to a food festival at Yoyogi Park.

But there is one catch. It was a vegetarian food festival.

I love meat. Nothing beats a good steak or hamburger. I also love making fun of vegetarians. But it was a good chance to get out and enjoy a beautiful day. And believe or not, I had a great time. I even enjoyed the food! I had some good South Indian food for the first time in a long while. The masala dosa wasn’t exactly as good as my grandmother’s but I think it’s as close as it will get in Japan. There were also a lot of hemp products on sale, because I guess a lot of hippies are also vegetarians.

I will have to admit, however, that at several points during the festival I managed to sneak out and buy food with meat. ?The funny part is that right outside the vegetarian booth they were selling both yakitori and meat tacos. ?I bought both and felt better.

So while I am never going to make it as a vegetarian, I am glad for the festivals!

Until next time,

Anand
