is there any reason better than food to go somewhere new?

being an island it is logical for fish to be a national obsession. at a local sushi place a conveyor belt displays the dishes and you take plates as they go by, as many as you want. The students I was traveling with had a competition. I think the highest plate score was 14. That is a lot of sushi. Good food. good times and when you are traveling it is a moral obligation to eat the local cuisine. And thank goodness. mmm Japan. it is delicious.
