    NOTIFICATION SQUAD: On our 200km journey around Aomori we ate our way through five local dishes. WHICH ONE do you want to try the most?
    Also, don't miss Ryotaro's absurd rap. He truly outdid himself this time. Jokes aside, it's good to be back on the road together. I always enjoy these little excursions and I hope you guys enjoy coming along the ride! (ESPECIALLY now Abroad in Japan is in 4k). Right, I'm off for a liquor breakfast.

      If the love for salty and sweet foods, love of sake (for it is cold there), and love for instant ramen (for it is cold there) results in a 2-year shorter life expectancy than the rest of the country, I will say it is all worth it. I will say kampai to it with 4 ounces of Aomori cider in the morning.

      He is both the sidekick and guide while he teaching ... us how hard we must listen to English when taught as a second language in the remote hinterlands of Japan. He sometimes plays it straight, at other times he plays it up speaking in a dialect that many might think as being in old the creole ( D'east, hill country, Sea Island Geechee, Cajun ) way. He is good and sort of fun to watch ... finding what is too far.

      I've actually fought a deer. As long as you stay clear of the antlers and move quick you're probably going to get away with minimal injury. If unarmed, go for the neck and wrestle it down while kicking the legs out from under it. If you have a fixed blade knife or even a hatchet, stab/hack at the sides. Deer get pretty aggressive in mating season and a lot of them go through the big graveyard I used to hang out in, so I had to wrestle one to the ground before the fucker gored me for getting too close to a Doe.

    This is literally the real "Black Bear Diner", I guess.
    Aomori is a hidden gem. There are museums (Towada Museum and Aomori Museum - That's where artist Yoshitomo Nara is from), Osamu Dazai Museum if you like Japanese literature, Shuji Terayama Museum if you are into Japanese avant-garde poetry. If you wanna talk to your dead Grandpa, you can go visit Osorezan to see a Shaman. Ultra crystal clear Towada Lake is also a great spot to visit. Needless to say, seafood there is AMAZING.
    BTW, Aomori isn't the only place you can get bear meat. It's called Gibier in French (local "wild game meat"), and you can still find some exotic food throughout the country. It's not that popular, but if you find one, you should definitely try dear, bear, boar, etc.

    Along the same lines as the “Life is Short Tour”, there’s a restaurant here in the United States (specifically Las Vegas) called Heart Attack Grill. It intentionally serves high-calorie, high-fat food. The waiters and waitresses are referred to as “doctors” and “nurses” and wear the associated costumes. Customers are called “patients” and wear medical gowns. The restaurant has a line of burgers with the word “bypass” in their names (Single Bypass, Double Bypass, Triple Bypass, etc.), and if you weigh 350 lbs or more, you eat for free.
