Life in the flyover

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.
