Yesterday at 5:10 p.m. I was just outside the German restaurant near Tokyu Nakameguro Station, Meguro Ward, Tokyo. Soon afterwards my immediate superior, a Catholic in his late fifties, joined me there. As expected, the German restaurant was filled with people, but we didn't have to wait because I had reserved a table. While eating German sausages, currywurst, schnitzels, etc. and drinking several glasses of German beers, we chatted about this and that, but mostly about Christianity. My superior, a talkative person, talked most of the time we were there, but of course I had my say and told him, as I had told him several times before, that God permitting I would fly to Berlin, Germany early next July. He would tell me that war being fought between Russia and Ukraine it would be risky for me to be in Europe, but I'd never been dissuaded by him and this time I've succeeded in making him give in to my determination as an evangelical Christian Zionist.
I paid the bill (JPY 15,506 / USD 98.51) by credit card (Amex). My superior, a rich man, offered to pay ¥10,000, but as host I declined. I wonder if it wasn't quite reasonably priced. If we had dined in Manhattan, NYC, then we'd have paid at least twice or thrice. But I'd like to be as rich as Jewish people in Manhattan. Would that be possible? Why not? Have my vignettes published in NYC and sell it worldwide! The question now is how....
