Paris

I'm currently in Paris and enjoying it much more than I thought I would. It helps that many of my friends are here and there is plenty of good tennis to watch.

The flight over was interesting. I flew with Akaya and he spent most of the flight teaching me about these pocket monster creatures. Though as some of them are big enough to ride on, I don't see why they're called pocket monsters. Pikachu I was familiar wit but I didn't realize there were hundreds of them... and that they evolved... and got new names... I now know why Akaya has such trouble learning languages... his head is full of a million words from this Pocket Monster world.

I have agreed to give a few of the games a try and we installed PokemonGo onto my phone.



When not watching the tennis matches, I've been exploring some of Paris. Deschamps-kun has been recruited as my tour guide by Yukimura. I have to admit that he makes a good guide  And that he's not nearly as horrible as I had hoped he would be. We discovered a few great used clothing shops and some antique stores. He's also convinced he can convert me to a coffee lover. Japanese tea continues to reign supreme though I admit that a few pastries we've sampled have outclassed those back home.

He apparently has no interest in Turkish oil wrestling other than watching. So I'll either need to rethink my plans for what to do when he comes to Japan or convince him of the merits of wrestling.
