Back.
I don’t have an interesting detouring story to share like Jon, but I got a sundae for agreeing to move to another seat.

I guess this happens so often they have to make a poster about it.

I went to Tsukiji one last time for breakfast before going back in time, to VanCity. This marks the end of my peaceful week in Tokyo. Now my head is cleared.

Canada Day
Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Establishment Day
The Hong Kong 1 July march
Summer sale begins in Japan. Women turn into gozillas and elbow each other in department stores. I haven’t noticed any tourists from Hong Kong until today.

Giant spider robot, Steve would be impress.
I was gonna post a photo that explains why I hate gaijins in Japan, but oh well…if you know, you know.

Rainny day in Tokyo. Got sucked into buying a white plastic umbrella again.
An hour before I had to take off for my trip, I was doing last minute packing as usual. I couldn’t decide which lens to pack, because I had absolutely nothing planned for my trip. The only thing I might want to see is the 1:1 Gundam, but he’s not worth the extra 10+lbs of camera gear that my donkey needs to carry. Then I thought, what if I do something different this time and not bring my DSLR? Oh, I might as well not bring my laptop, then I won’t be able to plan my trip on the go… Hmmm… That sure will make my 999th Tokyo trip unique. You know, I had always insisted on visiting new places, going to different restaurants and trying new things. Well, this time the ticket cost nothing and I didn’t need to take a bunch of unpaid leaves like last year, so I can afford (pychologically) to do absolutely nothing and RELAX.
Life is short but I have already done enough to save the Japanese tourism industry (and JAL still needs to be bailed out).
All I had with me was a few pieces of clothing, an iPhone and a small Canon. Light packing made my commute from the airport to the hotel easy, which has never happened before.
