Success!

I got myself breakfast, INCLUDING saying "take out" in Japanese, and I even managed to ask for the NAME of what it was I was eating! (Pointing to pictures on a laminated menu card is a wonderful thing.)

I have been eating kuroku mushu - croque monsieur. :)

Tomorrow morning, I'll ask for it correctly instead of by pointing! Wheeeee!

French "fast food". In Tokyo. What a world this is.

(Admittedly, that's one of my favorite things to get when in France, but it's certainly not the first thing I would associate with Japan.)

The world's a pretty nifty place, yep! :) One of the things I love is seeing how everybody changes a dish just a bit. Kuroku mushu isn't what you'd get in France, but it's recognizably a hot ham and cheese sandwich just the same.
