The Veg > Flip arrived moments before I did, and was waiting for me just outside customs & immigration control.
The Veg > Very handy item, but I doubt the need for locks since Japan is such an honest and crime-free country.
The Veg > Chu-Hi is basically fruity soda with a clear grain-spirit similar to vodka added. This bar had flavours such as orange, lime, lychee, etc. I had 'crazy strong' one but wasn't all that impressed by the strength- but then I'm a big strappin' westerner with a big strappin' circulatory system, and a big strappin' tolerance for alcohol.
The Veg > Beef curry at the food-stand on the railway platform. It was better than it looks!
The Veg > Food stand on a railway platform. The whole structure would fit inside my apartment's living-room. The ticket machine to the right has pictures on the buttons of all the food choices, and you insert money then press the appropriate button(s). Then you go inside and give the ticket(s) to the guy behind the counter and he serves you. There is standing-room for about 6 western or 10 Japanese diners at counters by the windows.
The Veg > Gorgeous ginkos in autumn-gold were everywhere, sometimes making a ground-cover of bright yellow leaves. Unfortunately, enough trampling makes the leaves smell like dogshit.
The Veg > On Sunday afternoons in Tokyo a crowd of mostly young people gather on a wide footbridge adjacent to Harajuku Station (and also right outside the Meiji shrine compound) and dress up in all sorts of costumes. I'd love to know the origins of this. The activity seems to be waning in popularity though, and it wasn't as crowded as I expected.
