The Saturday before I left for Japan a number of friends and I met up at the Bear’s Lair in Berkeley primarily to celebrate my friend Eddy’s birthday and to send me off to Tokyo. Of course the reason we went to the Bear’s Lair was to watch the Cal football game that was on but a good additional reason was the beer. We ordered it by the gallon. Literally. Portion sizes are a lot smaller in Japan so I needed to go out with a bang. The picture says it all…
American super sized gallon (4L) beer.
Eddy enjoying the same.
Thanks go to everyone who attended, all my friends who have supported me, and especially my family for all their help in preparing for this adventure.
