Japan News: In Fukuoka, a car accidentally fell from the rooftop of a five-story car park in Fukuoka and crash-landed on the roof of another building across the street, police said. Miraculously, the driver, Masami Sakamoto, escaped the incident virtually unscathed. Could this have been one of my relatives??? Hmm....

Akihabara & Dinner
After doing a ton of laundry, I decided to go to Akihabara to get: another memory stick, clie keyboard and stylus. First of all...I asked Yu's brother, Masumi, where he got his memory stick so cheap. He sent me a map of the where the store was. Unfortunately...I don't think it's there anymore. I walked around for HOURS trying to find this place. What I might just do is buy one online and have Tri or Brandon bring with them. They're way too expensive here. They're asking almost $70 for only a 128MB stick!! What kind of crap is that????? By the time I left Akihabara, the only thing that I got was my Clie stylus. Which I could've gone to a local store to get. I did however see some new stuff. There's this new Clie...man...it's so dope!!!! It looks like a 2-way pager...but it's a Clie!!!!
Today was also nice because there was a hanabi tai kai @ Odaiba. So there were lots and lots of girls in yukatas. Summertime is great in Japan! :)
Since I was @ Akihabara, I decided to go to Kaoru's restaurant for dinner. Hide and Aki joined me...Aki of course was late as usual. We had some grubbin' "lemon chicken", moyashi ramen and this bell pepper pork dish...which I can't remember the name to. Hide's mom also came by to pick up some of Kaoru's special pizzas. After dinner, we were chattin' with some of the regulars that came by. Pretty interesting conversation. They were shocked that I was an American. Yet again...I baffled some more people.
Going home today was a hassle. From Inaricho -> Nihombashi -> Nishi Funabashi -> Funabashi -> Tsudanuma -> Yakuendai. I should have waited for the next train @ Nihombashi which would have made me only transfer one more time @ Kita Narashino. Oh well...it gave me time to take a nap.
I want to let ya'll know that I will be gone from Monday thru Friday. If I have access to a computer...I'll update...but most likely I won't. Then on Saturday, I'm off to Hakone. Sunday will be a chill day, then Tri comes in on Monday. Then it really gets crazy. Well...ya'll be safe for the next week. You'll hear about my Toyama trip when I get back, aite!?
Kaz out...
