I should really update this more! Things are incredibly busy at work, but as perks I've been able to do a bunch of travel, including my first trip to Japan, and a week in Montreal. Usually I wind up in Montreal with all-day schedules, and this was the first time that I actually had my evenings free. I got to hop on the Metro and explore a bit of the city. Perhaps most importantly, I now know how to get to Schwartz's on my own, so I can get my authentic Montreal Smoked Meat on.

Also, I now know a really great German restaurant in Tokyo, in addition to a great sushi place in Hamburg. Funny where life takes you.

As Vonnegut says (and I'm sure, if I looked through my history here, I would find that I've quoted it in this blog before): "Curious travel suggestions are dancing lessons from God."
