I am flummoxed why this is not a National Holiday. Happy 60 @wawa - Hands down the best convenience store on the planet. Pristine clean, phenomenal service 24/7, no ATM fees, cheap cigs+gas and they even make a damn good cheesesteak. Celebrate with a shorti hoagie for the road! https://t.co/uiDAFKOqaP

Great to be back in Tokyo. First stop as always is Camelback tucked away in Tomigoya. Awesome to see Naruse-san, Notoshi-san and the crew. Omelette sandwich is different level: tamagostyle egg on baguette w/hint of mustard. Quality>Quantity @bettersoma you must come to Tokyo! https://t.co/VT9DWwPQFg
