…and Rice-A-Roni? No, dad, I’m cool. No thanks. Knock yerself out, though. I’ll find something else to eat.<\/p>\n

Fish sticks and rice-a-roni was one of my parents staples. I’ve always hated this crap, ever since I was a kid. Frozen fish always tastes like old, rubbery chicken to me. I don’t see how they could have eaten this crap. Bleah.<\/p>\n

At any rate, I’m not eating that crap for dinner. I was kinda thinking Japanese again, but was unsure of the restaurant. To be safe I decided to go to Berkeley: there are lots of good places to eat in downtown.<\/p>\n

And I didn’t feel like driving either. I’ve been in a mellow mood all day and I almost didn’t leave the house. So, BART it is.<\/p>\n

Taking BART is such a pleasant experience. You see, I hate *HATE* driving in traffic. I was leaving the Stack (Haystack, aka Hayward) at around 5pm so I knew I’d hit the bad stuff. On BART I don’t have to do a thing–except sit by the window and listen to music and read my paperback.<\/p>\n

As the train sped past San Leandro and Oakland I thought of how nice it was to be above all the filth below me. But, I digress. The train was clean and free from undesirables and surprisingly empty. Thirty minutes after leaving Hayward I was getting off the BART in downtown Berkeley.<\/p>\n

OK, I know I said I was undecided but that only lasted a split second. As soon as I parked my truck at Hayward BART I knew what I wanted: Ryowa. I could taste that large Asahi, the gyoza, and the cha shu ramen with extra noodles. Mmmm mmmmm mmmmmmmmm!<\/p>\n

Dinner was great, as always. I took a little walk around, noting all the students carousing and such. The sidewalks are very full tonight of people young and old.<\/p>\n

And now I’m sitting at a little cafe on the corner of Shattuck and Hearst called Berkeley Espresso. Free wi-fi? Thanks, guys!<\/p>\n

And now I’m going to wrap this up, finish my cup of decaf, and get moving. I’ve got more sights to see before I need to catch that last train back to Hayward…<\/p>\n

Edit: here’s my amazing, fantastic, super-cool video of the BART.<\/p>\n
