Hi again

[cjsmith]

My hotel room in Shibuya-ku (Tokyo) also has free Internet access, if you know enough to go down to the front desk and snag a cable.

I have now slept on a futon in a room covered with tatami mats and enclosed by rice paper doors. I have eaten things I do not ever want to know the name of. I have probably walked ten cumulative miles inside train stations. I have learned where to go to purchase nonfunctional demo models of cellphones, the gazillion-knob toilet seats, a Walkman the size of a lipstick case, or a dishwasher the size of my purse. I have learned not to answer the phone "Moshi-moshi" unless I am completely prepared to continue the conversation in Japanese. (oops.)

No matter how yummy the picture in the advertisement looks, I am *not* ordering out for octopus and mayonnaise pizza. No. Even if it weren't thirty-six dollars.

Square dancing tomorrow.

(ps: it's 7:50pm.)

Well, that'd be the large. The cheapest pizza is a small tomato/cheese/basil for $12.50. By the way, this is Domino's. I had no idea anyone in any position in any Domino's anywhere would know what to do with chunks of seafood. The intimidation factor for me is the fact that seafood makes me hork. :-)

Things are going great! I'm in serious danger of buying a digital camera.

Domino's? Wow, scary. I once had some pizza here with a few miniature shrimp added to an amazing variety of stuff on the thins -- and it was quite yummy. Personally I like much seafood (especially scallops -- YUM!), but can't handle things like clams and oysters -- and octopus!

Hey, a digicam direct from Japan would be way cool!

It sure would, especially if the case had all the labels in Japanese. That'd be a great souvenir! :-)
