I wonder what would be my cravings after spending 4.5 months on a space station. A burger? Matsuya's yakiniku meal...

“Yes _ can you handle raw fish?” Wakata said, laughing

He then added "Hashi OK?" while miming with his right hand the use of wooden sticks to grasp and eat food.

It is Japanese custom to bring souvenirs back from a long trip. When asked by journalists if Wakata did, Tachikawa said the astronaut returned with new ideas and impressions about space.

Awesome!! I am going to use that when I come back from my next trip!

Seriously though, what a lucky guy. That must have been an amazing experience.

Amazing guy - they do this incredible amount of hard work for the privilege of being there and do even more hard work. I'm sure he enjoyed it fully though and he well deserved it :)
