Tonight we went out to dinner to a great restaurant called Osaka. It serves up a beautiful selection of Japanese-Peruvian fusion food, including some of the best sushi I've ever had, the absolute best seaweed salad ever, and some really great sesame tuna. It is in San Isidro, at Conquistadores 999. They eat late here, but if you need reservations call 222-0405.
After that, we decided to celebrate Saint Patrick's day in the traditional style, at Murphy's Irish Pub (Schell 627 in Miraflores). It was quite an experience, with a wide variety of folks, local and international, young and not-so-young. There was a rather amusing MC leading a beer-drinking tourney and singing Irish drinking songs. The pick at right was from before the bar was packed to the gills. It got even more crowded as the night went on.
A good time was had by all.

Hey, Damsel! I hope you and Joe are having a pleasant stay in South America.
I remember reading somewhere that Peru has a higher-than-expected Japanese population. In fact, wasn't one of their presidents (Fujimora) the son of Japanese immigrants?
Did you win the beer-drinking tourney? :)
Lots of Asians here, which makes the already-awesome Peruvian cuisine that much better. Yumo.
I didn't participate in the beer-drinking tourney. It would have been unfair. Others need to win sometimes, too.
