Language lessons

Anybody know any of these in Japanese? As usual, after arrival I am figuring out what it was I should have learned before departure.

"eat in" or "eat here"
"take out"
"more"
"less"
"with"
"without"
"how do you say __________ in Japanese?" (where ________ is probably pointing to an object)

Thanks!!

You'll find Japanese crowds are much more tolerable than American crowds. :) Another good spot is the riverbanks by Asakusa.

I really should put up my photos.

I have a little trouble with anyplace I can't move freely - particularly since it's exquisitely painful for me to be on my feet in the first place. Japanese crowds are politer, but they also move very slowly.

We went to the riverbanks by Asakusa first, and it looks like Ueno might be a week ahead of them, blossom-wise. I wonder why. It seemed like the riverfront had a wide variety of types of trees, so some of them should have been just about there.

If you have time, you might want to take a day and go down to Kamakura. There's a walk down one of the streets that's lined with cherry trees on both sides, and is really impressive when they're in bloom. Kamakura's an hour away from Tokyo. Catch the Yokosuka line from Tokyo Station and you're there.

We have a friend taking us down to Kamakura on Monday, after we're done with the first bout of dancing. I'm looking forward to it!
