The Cuban actress Susana Pérez is sharing on her social media the amusing adventures and some mishaps from her trip to Japan with her 19-year-old grandson Víctor. From a tiny room in Tokyo to a true odyssey to get 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 chose not to disclose, she was close to canceling it.
"I spent three months planning this trip, and for reasons I don't want to explain, it almost fell through. But at this age, I no longer want to be left with unfulfilled desires, 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 experiencing an unforeseen event that would leave her grandson in a difficult situation. However, it ended up being Víctor who took care of her during the trip.
After landing in Tokyo, they arrived at the hotel without any issues, although the first surprise came when they entered the room they had booked. The space was so small that they could barely move around.
"Our era was to open the door and jump into bed; there was no other option," recalled Susana, who tried to change it for a larger one but was asked for an additional 29,000 yen.
"I had an attack of stinginess without realizing it was just a little over 100 dollars," she commented with a laugh, although the amount in yen she mentioned is equivalent to a figure greater than 100 dollars.
Finally, they decided to stay in the small room, which the actress named 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 insufficient for her grandson.
"In Japan, all portions, whether of food, coffee, latte, water, or meat, must be examined closely, not to scrutinize them, but to make them seem larger and thus satisfy the hunger of a 19-year-old athlete," he wrote with his characteristic sense of humor.
But one of the funniest anecdotes came when they 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 which someone had rated as the best in the world.
After several unsuccessful attempts to get a table, they discovered that the establishment only served with a prior reservation, so they ultimately decided to order pizza to go.
However, obtaining it wasn't so easy either. They had to wait about 20 minutes standing in front of the place, as Susana said, the manager didn't allow them to sit on a nearby staircase.
When they finally received their order, they were also given a map with the locations where they could eat the pizza. The closest one was about a 10-minute walk away, so they had no choice but to continue the adventure.
"We went and it turned out to be a playground where, sitting on a bench, almost in the dark and using 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 ever had in our lives," the actress recounted.
Susana accompanied her story with a nighttime photograph in which she is holding the pizza box, an image that reflects the unusual outcome of that culinary quest.
The actress has a very special relationship with her grandson Víctor, with whom she shares this adventure. In fact, in 2023, the young man got a tattoo of the theater masks on his right leg, exactly in the same spot where his grandmother has them, as a sign of the affection and bond between them.
Susana Pérez, who has over five decades of artistic career, seems to be enjoying this experience with her grandson, even when things do not go as she hoped.
And apparently, 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...".
