I met him when I was at Le Verre Vole . He is a friend with my co worker Ryo. He is a Japanese chef . He is a great guy and chef. I respect him a lot as a chef. He always treat me like as if I am his apprentice but he trust me to do many things. By the way, Ryo opened Le Verre vole Tokyo. With Natural wine connection in France, many people talk about chef Katsumi Ishida. He is the rock star among natural wine makers. He like rock and always rock and roll. Before I left Verre Vole, I had a chance to meet him again because he came by the restaurant to hang out. I want to be his friend and he should show me some tricks. That is why I asked him, with my bad French, if I can have a stagiaire at his kitchen and he accepted me, just right there soon after I asked him. I was hungry for learn new technics of cooking. I did not ask him to pay me because I wanted to learn to be a chef. 2 months at Lyon was great times, except someone pushed me so I was bleeding and, my computer was stolen same night. After all I could not write at all. It became my good excuse of not much writing even though I call myself as a writer on my card. Now, I got my new 300 euro window vistar computer. Shit computer but I just want to happy to see all the porn whenever I want to see. haha, it may just be a jock. I saved good enough money to travel around the world but living at the hostel was way too expensive for non-income. I had to push myself to limit to see how far I can go on. It was a part of my life experience.
Life in Lyon was good although there were more spending then earning. Every day was horror to see my bank balance. Every days were miners-ing . Living at the hostel was okay. I always meet new people and I became friend with them. Antonie, Algier, Mari, Jay, Vlardmir are my good friends from Lyon. Some of them are still there and some of them went back to where they were before. Chef Katsumi took me to many places and he showed me how to become a chef. I did some cooking demos with him. With it, I met Benjamin, the celebrity chef in France which turn out to be wholly bullshit. The chef took me to many places and I made a lot of connection. Now in Natural Wine world, people recognized me by Katsumi's Yakuza Cuisinier because I like to wear in black and have a lot of tattoos. 2 months were good time to be in Lyon. I had the good life in between social and professional. I liked to work with Katsumi was good but I need to keep moving on my project of world tour.My story will continue....
