I ate there at a CWS, and it was okay, by no means one of the best in the entire country. I've lived in Japan, so I tend to prefer traditional sushi, but I have certainly been to a lot of good fusion sushi places on the West Coast. This place did not compare. Fair enough. Where in Japan? I lived in Hokkaido for about a year and loved it. Mainly in Tokyo, but I was able to spend time just about everywhere, including Hokkaido (Sapporo). |

I was in Omaha for a cousins' wedding a while ago. I'd never been there. We stayed at some big hotel downtown (don't remember the name). Had to walk several blocks to get to an area with a few restaurants. They were fine but nothing worth noting. The city also seemed really dead on the weekends. Not intending to dis Omaha but it was almost eerie... After the wedding reception on Saturday night, a bunch of us headed to the casinos across the river in Iowa. (They were about two miles away and I still don't understand why there were casinos in Iowa.) I'd love to give a review of the casinos but, well, I don't remember that much... Casinos are in Iowa because they're not allowed in Nebraska (yet). The only casinos in Nebraska are tribal owned and on tribal land. |

The Omaha locals can give a better local report, but the weather update i just watched on MSNBC made it sound like a pretty major winter storm coming to the upper plains, maybe Wednesday. Driving to and around Omaha may get difficult. (Or it was an "OMG, be very afraid" report that they love to give in the winter. But FYI, in case.) The worst of it should all be north of Omaha. There's a small chance of snow on Thursday and of course the roads are messy. Stay safe! |

We just hit Council Bluffs (literally just drove past Iowa Western CC in search of a gas station). The roads are a MESS. This was supposed to be a 6.5 hour drive. It has taken… longer.
