All good,,,,,,,,,,,,]]> http://blogs.state.gov/index.php/entires/embassy_tokyo_celebrates_fourth/ Mon Jul 13, 2009
This year my family and I spend our first 4th of July away from the U.S. We celebrated in our apartment as I could not find information on a public U.S. Embassy hosted event. What gives? Did I fail at using the internet or was there really no bbq and fireworks? :(]]> http://blogs.state.gov/index.php/entires/embassy_tokyo_celebrates_fourth/ Tue Jul 07, 2009 DipNote Blogger Lori Shoemaker writes:

Thanks, folks, for your nice comments on the blog. I especially liked Joe in New York's story about making buffalo wings in Osaka. I believe that all Americans have the chance to serve as "person-to-person" diplomats for the U.S. when we are traveling, living, or studying overseas (or when we come into contact with visitors to the U.S.). I'm sure your spicy wings made a positive lasting impression.]]> http://blogs.state.gov/index.php/entires/embassy_tokyo_celebrates_fourth/ Mon Jul 06, 2009
Well young Lady, Keep up the good work;even the 1905 Portsmouth Conference included a full range of diplomatic dining opportunities. May the Spirit of the Great White Fleet live on. Mr Blake]]> http://blogs.state.gov/index.php/entires/embassy_tokyo_celebrates_fourth/ Sun Jul 05, 2009

I'm leaving this comment just as a test.]]> http://blogs.state.gov/index.php/entires/embassy_tokyo_celebrates_fourth/ Fri Jul 03, 2009
This past school year, I was enrolled in a study abroad program at a university near Osaka. During the nine months I lived there, there were a few occasions when I had the pleasure of making Buffalo wings for some of my Japanese friends and housemates. (Well, as best as I could make them without a deep fryer...) It says a lot about the kindred spirit of humanity that we could bond over something as simple as chicken in hot sauce with a side of daikon and melon pan. Maybe someday I'll be back to attempt a Buffalo chicken yakisoba!
