I am a vagrant, wandering the streets of Tokyo
Today, the only plan I had was to go look at fungus. No, really. The current exhibit at the science museum is on Moyashimon and his friends, and is basically a big exhibit about fungus.
After eating quick lunch at Heiroku finally (no Kanno -- wonder if he left...) I went down to Ueno and got there a bit late to actually hang out with my former student Mitsuko who works there, only like 20 minutes, since she had a meeting. But she showed me the Theater 360, which was interesting, and then where they have an Akita dog which is basically Hachiko. I gave her the fungus-character plushies I got from UFO catchers... and then I wandered around the museum on my own. It was interesting for a while but I think it'd be more fun with someone else.
I wandered the streets of Tokyo for a bit -- walked from Ueno to Okachimachi via Ameyayokocho, stopped in some arcades to play UFO catchers and Pop'n, and also ate some melon slices from a street vendor, yum. From Okachimachi I took the train to Kanda, where I ended up in an internet cafe called Popeye for a while. It was nice but overpriced, and the drink bar was just a drink machine that served very small amounts. I drank a LOT of cold milk cocoa and some coke and some lemon tea. The desk was comfortable though. Kanda's Manboo doesn't have no-smoking rooms so I decided not to go there. But Popeye's no-smoking area still smelled of smoke.
Oh yeah, AND I got a Doala box out of a UFO catcher finally in Ameyayokocho. Unfortunately the box is the cool part, inside is just little bags of mixed nuts. Oh well.
Then I walked from Kanda to Ochanomizu, via Jimbocho. I thought about just walking from Kanda to Shinjuku but gave up about halfway, you could say. Plus I like walking past Meiji University. Though everything was closed at 8pm, oddly.
Took the train to Shinjuku and now I'm at one of the Kabukicho Manboo cafes, which is another GOOD one, because the rooms are comfy, the staff are nice, AND they have strawberry slurpees in the drink bar, and the first hour is 200 yen again. I already drank three slurpees. I know, it's not good, but... it'll be useful to know which of these places is good to go to in a pinch, anyway.
Oh yeah, and outside Kanda station I bought 16 mini-taiyaki, which I ate here. Yummmmm. But I don't feel like eating dinner because I have been snacking or drinking sweet stuff all day! Oops.
I actually logged in and updated labor on all my Puzzle Pirates characters today. That is the kind of thing I have not been doing with no internet at home. I really wish I had an offline version of the alchemistry puzzle (I have this vague feeling it was available in the standalone PP game but alas)
Now, it is late, and I am going to wander back home. Debating getting off at Jujo and walking back from there instead, just to continue with today's theme...
