truck lunch

For lunch the other day, I had a curry lunch that was better than average. But what made it particularly interesting was its source. Which was a small van parked oddly in the flagstone quadrangle between the Japanese national auditorium and a building known as 'the glass building'.

Kato-san had taken me to pick up my film (he did a hell of a job, even as unconfident (non-confident, haw haw?) as he is in his English. On the way back, he pointed out the van and a couple of others (one was a brightly painted VW vanagon or whatever they were called that looked like it could date to the 60's - it was simply printed with the words "Korean lunch") and indicated that we could get lunch.

Office people were sitting at every available sittin' spot all 'round the square, and the van lunch guy was already pretty much sold out, so I guess it's a pretty popular thing. For Y600 ($CA6) I got a tasty curry with rice and a side of small pickled onions (take that coworkers!). We took them back to the office and ate at our desks (and take that!).

Mmmm, truck lunch.
