Driving Range and Tecate

Today a guy from work who lives in my building and I went to a golf driving range on our bicycles. This driving range had multiple levels and was built in an old baseball stadium. You basically are hitting from where the grandstands used to be into left and center field. Or even over the fence.



You buy a ticket from a machine and then insert it into a ticket taker at the range. It then feeds balls from under the floor automatically onto a tee. You push a button with your foot to make the tee go higher or lower. It remembers where you like it and keeps teeing balls up until you run out of count on your card. You don't even have to bend over to tee the ball up! It's expensive ($30 for 100+ balls) but worth the experience.



Then we decided to find some place different to eat and found a Mexican restaurant in Ginza. It was pretty good although I wouldn't rate it as too authentic in some respects. I had ceviche (it had octopus as well as fish in it), tacos, and buffalo wings. Pretty good. The also had Negro Modelo, Tecate, and Carona.



That's it for this week. Take care.
