At the restaurant you meet great people all the time.  I would really like to meet new people from japan to not only correspond with but to also meet up with when I do decide to go to japan.  In our restaurant most of the people are much older and maybe have different interests.  I think in the days coming I will put more effort in making more friends.  I have already made a couple of friends who said they work in a sushi bar and would love it if I visited.  They said “in Tokyo it’s very difficult to find cheap sushi but I can get some very cheap sushi and show you the best shops.”  When I serve a guest I want to try and make lifelong friends not only just a great experience.
