2015-04-16: Moving On Up

New Apartment Day! 15th floor!

Blossoms gone, greenery appearing.

I managed to get the date wrong and thought we were moving in yesterday (which is why we had nothing planned) but today actually is the day we move to our new Giant Apartment. It is 29m2 - an extra square metre. It is also a mirror image of the old apartment. This confuses me frequently as the toilet is where the bathroom was and so on.

It is a tranquil space on the roof, not porn

Normally this wouldn't be an issue but, as mentioned previously, in Poland I often felt like a clumsy lumbering giant and was sure I would break something given the sizes of the apartments, here is even worse and many things are designed for shorter people as well.
Making it all mirror image is a recipe for failure.

Food & Beverage Review: Nostalgia Food

There is a Polish restaurant in Nagoya. We have to go there to see what it is like. Not tonight though.

The lanterns say what they sell. I can't read the lanterns yet. I saw a picture of kielbasa is how I knew.

Researching the Polish restaurant may have made Ewa a little homesick for Polish food. One of the Izakaya across the road does Kielbasa so we went there to try and assuage the cravings.

Tebasake for science. Shogen Tigers Bar still wins for chicken wings in Nagoya.

They also do whitebait which was popular when I was growing up. I never ate it because of the fish thing but it seemed slightly poetic to have two items from our home countries.

Actually not a bad kielbasa even if it is fried and so the lazy persons way of cooking them (which I like) some good bread would have been great.

This place does use more chilli than most places and the chicken stick variety plate I grabbed had a range of different hot sauces. I still don't know what the flavours are in Japanese cooking yet.

Whitebait are still out of my league

Even simple citrus flavours I am pretty sure are something that is kind of like a lemon flavour but slightly different. I should probably go to a cooking school next time we're hear.

Cheese, Chilli, Wasabi, Green onion, and a topping I couldn't identify

Rating 5/10 (Nice enough but better options abound)
