Starving in Tokyo

[Maroodijex]

I am in Japan for the next few days, but i am already giving up living here.

Don't get me wrong, this place is awesome if you were one of those other people but for me, a family man with a lot of restrictions, I am not liking this place.

I arrived here on Wednesday and since then I have been having bread/jam for lunch/breakfast & dinner. Because everything else is f*cking disgusting sushi. I have searched for Halal place around here and the closest is around 10 minutes away by train.

Everything else is just great.

Welcome to Japan mate.

Your attitude is that one of a geeljire.

You have to be exploratory and bit more daring. Try everything and anything. Japan food is never disgusting. Far from it and what you talking about Halal? There is no place more halal than Japan. Everything is almost sea food. Ilahay ba Halal ka dhigay and their diet is just great.

If you were in Vietnam or China understandable but Japan is a sea food nation and there is nothing disgusting about sea food. They are world leaders in hygiene too.

Loool halal. My closest Halal to me sells after hour illegal alcohol.

These Asians are fleecing the poor Somalis using this brand.

Don't be a geeljire seafood is also food, not hilib iyo bariis.
Check online there are apps on appstore where you can find halal restaurants.

By the way who remembers the name of the ex Snm mujahid that was a professor in a major university on Tokyo?.

Might have been meygaag or something.

Prof. Ibrahim Meygag Samatar (AUN). Good family friend. I remember him. He was originally from Haud (born near Aware).

No idea if Meygaagta was named after the family but I have been there Big hero in my family. Maroodi Jeh could be our new Mr Meygag but instead he is complaining about food like a mummy boy.

I have no problem here in China. There are Yemeni, Lebanese, Pakistani, Indian, Indonesian, Chinese Muslims and Indonesian restaurants.
There is one magic code you need to use when ordering "please do not add salt to my food" that will do the trick and you will enjoy the food.

I think I am getting the hang of this place now. I have ventured out and wide in the last two days.

I am using the Apps including translation apps (you take a photo of the Japanese script and it gives you English translation).

I don't know how they do it here. GPS works just fine 100m underground. In London as soon as you go down the first few steps you loose GPS. Here whole city is found underground, I mean really amazing.

I am going to finally try this sushi thing - always had a bad idea about it but tomorrow I will give a go.

Btw, I am finding out lots of eatery places not far from where I am I residing. There is a Malaysian restaurant a walking distance from my hotel. Been there twice already. There is a Kebab shop about two stops from here.

You're lucky I was there 8 years ago and there were hardly any halal restaurants. I like seafood and vegetarian dishes but my travelling partner didn't and he suffered.
I was tired of it too after 9 days and was happy and pissed of to discover an Indian halal restaurant 100m behind my hostel.
We just never thought to walk that direction, it was always towards the metro.

Explore man, relax and be social mix with the people, they are hospitable, but since you are a married man stay away from roppongi Hills, even after 9 years it still has a sleazy reputation. You will see the dark side of Japanese women, by day shy, demure and more xishood than any religious Somali girl you met, by night they turn into sex crazed succubi that will devour you.
Shibuya and surrounding were my favourite.
I stayed at a super cheap Japanese style hostel catering to local businessmen fie $40 a night.
It was popular with French tourists and while we were there we were the only non French people.
It was also in what's considered the ghetto, walahi it's the cleanest softest and we'll built ghetto I've ever seen.
The local unemployed men that hang around and the hoodlums were harmless puzzycats as well.
Had allot of fun with them.
