Today was our last full day in Japan, and the only full day we had in Tokyo. I spent the morning shopping with my sister at some athletic stores. For lunch we went on our pilgrimage to Mos Burger.

After lunch we split up because my sister’s further pilgrimage was to the giant fabric store in Shinjuku and mine was to Akihabara’s Denden Town. Oh, the sights I saw! There was even a store selling UV-erasable EPROMs, something that the newly graduated engineers were shaking their heads in disbelief about when I told them of their existence. Lots of cool stuff but I only bought a few presents and I went back to the hotel.

Today I had dinner with Suzuki-san, a co-worker I hadn’t seen for 19 years. We went to one of those restaurants in Shinjuku that the barkers try to get you into. 2 hours, all you can drink for ¥1750, plus food ended up as ¥8000 for the both of us. Not so bad. We caught up on old times and wondered why we both looked pretty much the same as the last time we saw each other.

Anyway, that’s it for my gluttony. Tomorrow we head back for the US!
