Well, this time my bad sleep was due to all the caffeine. It wasn\u2019t that bad though. Finally figured out I was using my earplugs wrong. Hah.<\/p>\n

OK, I had to have another Eggslut at Hoshino Coffee. Yesterday they told my sister they don\u2019t sell mugs and I asked and they said they had to order them and it would take a week You can also buy the mugs online but I bet they only sell in Japan. I\u2019ll find out when I get home.<\/p>\n

We went to Ogikubo to meet my sister\u2019s friend Jen. Her family just moved way out west from Shibuya and that was a convenient station to meet. We got there early and hung out in a Misudo because the station was a little on the old side and odd. The 24H shopping mall was closed this morning for some reason and it was cold and windy outside.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ogikubo turned out to be a bust. We walked from Ogikubo to Nishi-Ogikubo which is fine by us because that\u2019s the sort of thing we did the whole trip anyway. I did find a bookstore in Nishi-Ogikubo that had the puzzle book my mom wanted. We also found a tempura restaurant. The tempura came out as it was cooked and this is only half of it. We also had fish, shiso, and mushrooms.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

After that it was off to Yokohama to meet Chico. Instead of taking a rush-hour train, we left early and wandered around the harbor. We had about four hours to kill and the harbor area wasn\u2019t crowded at all. I guess the weekends are a different story. Here, in the distance, you can see the red brick warehouse where we went to Bill\u2019s, a famous Australian breakfast spot.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This is the Nippon Maru, a training ship, and I remember it coming to Portland. I kind of think my dad\u2019s buddy\u2019s cousin was on it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Bill\u2019s had several craft beers on the menu. They even had Kamiktazu beers from guys I met in Portland, but I stuck with the local Yokohama beer.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I had the wagyu burger and it was fantastic.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

No trip to Bill\u2019s is complete without the pancakes and these were great as well.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We took the train back to Tokyo and got back about 10:30. Mariko usually was asleep by that time most nights so it was a little late for us, but worth it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
