Yes, DH loves to hang around with almost naked men on the weekends. The naked man with the very visible nipples next to DH invited us to go camping. He said he was already pitching a tent. Strange place, Japan.
Before heading back to Tahara, we stopped at the International Store outside Nagoya Station and bought a Hot Cool Beer. Yes, that is the name. It cost about 400 yen. From the taste, I would say this was an amber ale. The beer wasn't really defined in the malt or hop sense. It tasted like... generic amber ale. The beer was clean, a bit malty, a tiny bit hoppy, and did not excite me in the least bit. For a name like Hot Cool Beer, you expect extremes in the taste. HOT! Then COOL! but it's BEER! The name sucked me in once, but I won't fall for it again.The best part of this beer was drinking it on the train and getting called out by this Japanese guy that thought he was Don Johnson in a track suit. He asked DH, in Japanese of course, "Do you drink on trains in America?" DH, thinking we don't have trains in America, says "No," expecting the guy to be like "Honto?" or something. Instead, this Miami Vice throwback says, "Then don't do it Japan," and ends the conversation. Dick.
Why do we not drink on trains in America? Because there are no trains.
Why do we drink on trains in Japan? Because there are trains. And because it is legal. Boo Yah!

LMFAO
Classic Nate. You are on your game tonight.
And that guy was an ass.
"Then don't do it in Japan?"
Was that guy even Japanese? Train drinking's one of the best parts of this country, and the Japanese do it way more than us gaijin.
Keep it real, brother.
Next time you can assure that gentleman that in America not only can you drink beer on trains, but they sell it to you. The Amtrak Downeaster's cafe car even serves "local microbreweries" (aka Shipyard). Playa what??
The best part of going to a Padres game is enjoying the beer on the train to downtown. You have to bring your own though, they don't sell it on board.
This guy was just a jerk, and most times the Japanese people I meet on the train are more than nice. Don't let this NTAC give you a bad impression...
Oh, we have trains in the America I come from - they just are not as good as in Japan. Also, I only drank on the trains in Japan...
NTAC is an acronym for No Talent Ass Clown. Sorry if there was any confusion.
Sadly, drinking on the London Underground was banned by our new right-wing Mayor.
