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.)

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! :-)
