by the way..
I got a new wallet today in a Shibuya department store. It’s made by a local designer, it’s cool and if you know me and see it, you will be jealous. Hah!
Meiji Shrine, et al
Work obligations stole the morning and rain threatened to take the afternoon, but we struck back and braved the downpour with a visit to the Meiji Shrine. It started off with a repeating theme for this trip: we walk within 100′ of our destination, lose orientation and proceed to walk in a long arc away from our target. It happened in Akihabara, the golf range and today. Anyway, the shrine was cool. Glad we did it.
They had these cool lamps hanging from the eves of the main building and I snagged what I thought would be useful as wallpaper.
Today’s trip was prefixed by another venture into an inexpensive sushi bar in Shibuya, the Standing Sushi Bar. It was delicious, filling and like yesterday, just short of $10. With one exception I’ve been eating sushi at every meal on this trip (and loving every bite).
