The Cuban actress Susana Pérez is sharing on her social media the amusing adventures and some mishaps of her trip to Japan with her 19-year-old grandson Víctor. From a tiny room in Tokyo to a true odyssey to eat a pizza, the artist has humorously recounted the surprises she has encountered during her stay in the Asian country.
In , Susana shared that she had been organizing the trip for three months and that, for reasons she preferred not to disclose, she was close to canceling it.
"I spent 3 months planning this trip and, for reasons I don't want to explain, it almost fell through, but at this age, I don't want to regret anything, so I decided to do it on my own," she confessed.
The actress also acknowledged that, before leaving, she felt some concern for her health and decided to purchase health insurance for the first time in her life. Her biggest fear was encountering an unexpected situation that would leave her grandson in a difficult position. However, it turned out to be Víctor who looked after her during the trip.
After landing in Tokyo, both arrived at the hotel without any issues, although the first surprise came when they entered the room they had reserved. The space was so small that they could barely move.
"Our era was to open the door and throw ourselves onto the bed; there was no other option," Susana recounted, who tried to exchange it for a larger one, but they asked for an additional 29,000 yen.
"I had a sudden attack of stinginess without realizing it was just a little over 100 dollars," he commented with laughter, although the amount in yen he mentioned actually amounts to a figure higher than 100 dollars.
Finally, they decided to stay in the small room, which the actress dubbed her "room/closet," and take the time to explore the city.
In , Susana shared other experiences that caught her attention during her stay in Japan, particularly the size of the food portions, which, as she mentioned, were inadequate for her grandson.
"In Japan, all portions, whether of food, coffee, latte, water, or meat, should be examined closely, not to scrutinize them, but to make them seem larger, thus satisfying the hunger of a 19-year-old young athlete," he wrote with his characteristic sense of humor.
But one of the funniest anecdotes came when both decided to try a pizza from MARUMO, a pizzeria located in the Ebisu neighborhood of Tokyo, which they had discovered on social media and that someone had rated as the best in the world.
After several unsuccessful attempts to get a table, they found out that the establishment only served customers with a reservation, so they ultimately decided to order pizza for takeout.
However, getting it wasn't that simple either. They had to wait about twenty minutes standing in front of the place, as Susana recounted, the manager did not allow them to sit on a nearby staircase.
When they finally received their order, they were also given a map with the places where they could eat the pizza. The closest one was about a ten-minute walk away, so they had no choice but to continue the adventure.
"We went, and it turned out to be a playground where, on a bench, almost in the dark and with our hands, we ate the so-called best pizza in the world, which turned out to be nothing more than a dough with cheese, just like all the pizzas we've eaten in our lives," the actress recounted.
Susana accompanied her story with a nighttime photograph in which she is seen holding the pizza box, an image that captures the peculiar ending of that culinary quest.
The Cuban actress has a very special relationship with her grandson Víctor, with whom she shares this adventure. In fact, in 2023, the young man tattooed the theater masks on his right leg, exactly where his grandmother has them, as a sign of the affection and bond that exists between them.
Susana Pérez, who has over five decades of artistic experience, seems to be enjoying this experience with her grandson, even when things do not go as planned.
And, evidently, there are still more stories to tell, as the actress ended her posts with a word that promises new anecdotes from her journey: "To be continued..."
