Lucky Honda Shopping Trip

without comments

We’re out in the burbs and the cousin took us shopping. Lucky Honda is like a Super Walmart plus Lowes plus a huge craft store, all put together then doubled.

The grocery section had an amazing fish selection. The dry goods section had everything you could ever need except clothing.

Tokyo Day 3

without comments

Quiet day today, too cold and too windy to walk to far. We’re off in the burbs at the Airbase till Monday morning.

We had a snack at the Japanese equivalent of Friendlies this morning. On the tables in all the restaurants is a buzzer. The waitress leaves you alone unless you press the buzzer.

Along the path through the park behind the hotel we ran across a middle aged guy repeatedly sliding his hands along the bark of an oak. I’m told he was toughening up his hands for a martial arts thing. Though I’m not sure that makes him any less crazy.

Around the Detached Palace are joggers, it’s a steep, hilly 5k run around the palace.
