Ukr.day27: Hunt for the Chinese. Part 2

So we left off at Chinese restaurant #2 closed. We get back in the cab and start going to the next one..well, Regina starts talking to the guy and she stars saying "nipponski" and I ask if we're going to Japanese. She says that the next restaurant sounds Japanese and we start going through names and I'm like "japanese...japanese..." Apparently they don't have obvious names here like China Wok, Panda buffet, and Jade/Golden Dragon. After I said we didn't want to go to {backwards R}mato which is pronounced Yamoto, which I've seen and is gimicky Japanese by the river, the driver assures us we're going to a different place by the river and we get there and it's Yamoto...thanks dude. We say maybe we're destined for Japanese instead and head towards Yamoto anyway - Regina has never had Japanese/sushi and it seemed a possible start (I'd taste it first). The bright sign displaying all the rolls and nigiri looks good enough, so we go through the red faux temple gate.As we started to go down the steps and a waiter hollered up (it's 8:45PM) we're closed. The lights outside and inside turn off and I say "if that's not a sign that we're meant to eat something else.." So we go to a Mediterranean cafe near my place that Regina had been to before. It turned out both open and good:I'll do part 3 and describe the food later. I have to leave the office before the alarm turns out. The other security old guy today communicated that at desyat (10) the ceiling goes whrrrrr whrrrr and made circling motions with his arms. Awesome. gnight.
