No, I don't.

€50k starting salary for a technician seems a bit high. Maybe for an engineer.

Enrique overcharged me by $20! I'm never going back to his restaurant ever again!

Great, now I want Mexican food.

Is it true that, were I in a big hellhole of a city, are there really restaurants that cater to every taste which are open all the time?  It'd be pretty great to be able to get an enchilada at 7 a.m.

[Eddie Teach]

Probably can get one at Taco Bell.

In Tokyo: no

Not open yet.  I think they might be doing a breakfast menu now, but I'm unsure if you can get a bean burrito or anything, just those gross-looking waffle tacos that I can't eat anyway because they're full of bacon.

There's also not one nearby.  If I could swing a business loan, which I can't, I'd put real thought into opening a Taco Bell franchise near my house.  I think it would do gangbusters.

Good luck!

Another dream deferred, I guess.

So, yesterday night things totally didn't go according to plan for me. As per usual.
Not as per usual I ended up missing my last train home and had to sleep in a manga cafe. Damn, I don't know how some people manage to live in those places. It was far from comfotable. And I had to try two different places on opposite sides of Shibuya before I found one with space. Still. Beat the streets. We could really use such businesses in the UK. Though knowing Brits I doubt it would last long before being wrecked.

Ugh...gross.

Just rent a room in a love hotel and sleep in a real bed.

[Ideologue]

Just walk?  How far is home?

...a manga cafe is gross but a love hotel isn't?

You should have stayed in a Holiday Inn Express.

Shoebox hotel?
