I woke up this morning

And realised there was a strangely familiar looking cable attached to the side of the desk in my hotel room. Upon closer examination it indeed turned out to be the trusty old cat5e cable, provider of network access to millions of people worldwide. So no need to sit in the lobby for the wireless to post here, yay.

Yesterday was quite smooth. After arriving here and posting the last blog entry I took the Yamanote Line over to Harajuku. As always the shopping roads were totally full of teenagers, the bridge though only had a couple groups meeting, and there was the incredible tourist overflow, totally not cool. A short walk to the Yoyogi park entrance revealed that the rain had scared away the Rockabilly club, who weren't dancing but just stood there at their cars talking crap. The smart traveller at this point procedes to plan B, before yet another load of tourists arrives, and heads down towards the meiji dori, into the omotesando side of the railway tracks. From there I went down to Shibuya, again, took another train to get to Tokyo station and meet up with Nano, who in his usual fashion is about half an hour late -.-" . Would you want a guy to draw the plans for your house when he can't arrive on time even once... But seriously though, we checked out a bookstore for some classic in german, they didn't have it, took the Monorail to Odaiba and a museum that's been built from containers. It's all temporary and inside there was a photography exhibit. Aparently this was the third installation they've built, previously it was in NYC and then somewhere in California. Was pretty cool, nice pictures and if you really really liked them you could buy the book with large prints of them for a mere 850k yen, ... From odaiba to some skyscraper to check out cityscape at night. If you've seen bladerunner or watched Ghost in The Shell you sort of get what it looks like. And no, the damn thick windows mirrored the background light so effectively that camear shots of the place didn't really work out... Must see if I'll hit Mori tower once more before I leave to get a better view, assuming they don't have as much lights on there during the evenings..

As for today, Omotesando, Daikayama, Shimokitazawa are on the menu, which means tshirts, clothes and perhaps some other nice things will be bought... ttfn.
