Dinner with a drunk

So it turns out Orientation is actually tomorrow..oops.  I ran to the office with 5 minutes to spare and I was all "is this the right place?"  They're all "yes...tomorrow." 

I was wandering around Shinjuku station and happened upon a Japanese businessman.  He started speaking fairly good English and absolutely reeked of alcohol.  I figured he was too drunk to try anything so he showed me this awesome Japanese ramen shop.  Not the 99 cent stuff - the real ramen!  It was nom!  He was an executive something something and he was "rich and important" (his words, not mine!)  It was a very interesting view into the executive culture of Japan.  I get the feeling they're kind of lonely.  He said he was on a diet, so he ordered a beer.  A beer diet?  0.o 

Don't worry Richie, I namedropped enough times that he got the idea ;)  I felt kinda bad when I realized it was probably supposed to be a date.  He left in a hurry.  Oops.  Oh well.  At least he enjoyed his beer.
