Totally superficial post: Last night I had dinner at Tokyo Eat with people from INHA. Tokyo Eat is a 'design' restaurant at the museum for contemporary arts Palais de Tokyo. For appetizer, I had slices of raw Paris mushrooms with fennel and parmesan shavings, tossed in olive oil and balsamic vinegar. For my main dish, I just told the waiter to bring me out whatever vegetarian things they had, which was: zucchini shreds that looked like tagliatelles, sweet and sour eggplant, roasted whole cherry tomatoes. And for dessert, I had a supposed chocolate crumble that was really chocolate mousse with crumbs on top! Next to some English cream. Note to self, however: never have coffee again there. They use some low-quality beans that gave me a headache.

Tokyo Eat needs an instruction booklet for its bathroom! First, they are for both sexes. And the locking mechanism is not so obvious. Then I wasn't sure if I was pulling on the right thing to wash my hands. Those crazy museum architects!

I did notice that
1. I eat very slowly compared to these Parisians
2. other women also made bracelets out of Tokyo Eat's napkin ring-ribbon (I am not the only one who likes to take souvenirs!)
If only I had my camera so that I can post mine!
