Does Japan even have Halal anything? Don't they eat frogs there?

No frogs, very little beef, lamb chicken or pork.......it's all sea food here bro. This country surrounded by the ocean.

I wish I could get those delicious pepperonccini/ cucumbers and cracked spicy Lebanese olives here.

You know Lebanese food the best in the entire middle east no?

No special plans for Xmas. I'm supposed to fly home but those plans are looking iffy.. dont really celebrate xmas either.. if I'm down south, its generally very festive around here.. get a usual prawn something maybe ?

Ghar gaya toh ghar ka khana, sarson da saag makkai roti or something, maybe a rajma chawal

dhoondho, zaroor milega some sorta desi restaurant.

At least you got good macchi, but Japanese, I imagine, is very acquired taste waali cuisine. Order in a Yakitori grill something.. or is that not allowed ?

idhar bhi, not so easy for north Indian palate.. tastes all different and not proper.. sure there's the odd restaurant but you really gotta search and find em, not ubiquitous.

I don't cook bhai. I am an extreme caveman.

Chai bhi garam nahin karta if I can get away with it. Which is most times.

Old days when the kids were smaller, we used to drive around Poona in the cantonement past all the major churches, during the midnight mass. Just to see the crowds of makapavs and the festivities.

Nowadays, not so much. Plum cake will be there. Gifts will still be put up by the mrs after the kids sleep (one teen, and 2 in their 20s lol). The tree and lights will be there, which sometimes stays on for weeks.

We have a big compound. And an actual live real tree.

Just like any other day. Once you grow up, in adulthood, you don't notice the days of events like birthdays, new year eve, Christmas, etc.
