On Saturday, Gennie and I went to Maximilien in the Market<\/a> for dinner.<\/p>\n

It’s a rather nice restaurant, with lovely food and lovely views of the sound. For starters I had frogs legs. I have been meaning to try these for a while, and this seemed like a good opportunity. They are rather like chicken in consistency, but they tasted more like fish – somewhere in between meat and fish in fact. They were a lot less strongly flavoured that I thought they would be.<\/p>\n

My main course was a lovely piece of duck (I thought I’d stick with the amphibious animals for the evening) in sweet sauce, and for dessert some little slices of chocolate cakes. It’s not the sort of restaurant you go to to get the big “American style” portions, but what we had was delicious and filled us up just right. The combination of good service, great food and nice atmosphere and surroundings made for a wonderful dining experience.<\/p>\n

Afterwards we went to see Lost in Translation<\/a>, which is quite possibly my new all time favourite movie ever. It perfectly captured the dreamlike state of being jetlagged and alone in a foreign country where you don’t know anyone and don’t speak the language. In some ways it reminded me very much of my first days in this country. By the end I was absolutely captivated, and when it finished I had almost forgotten I was even watching a movie at all – I felt like I had just been in Japan for a week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
