Jap Blog 1st August 1996

First stop today was the city government building where we took the elevator up to the 45th floor (to see the Tokyo skyline) in 55 seconds. Visited Sumitomo Bank for some more money. Need it to survive in this country. Went to Akihabura – the place where you can buy any amount of cellular phones, computers, global positioning systems etc. Next was the war memorial (entrance) [author’s note – the one where when the Japanese PM visits every year it causes a political stink] but the museum was closed. Back to the Kimura’s and out to a restaurant for tea – shabu shabu – a meat dish for all you can eat. You boil the meat and it was really nice.
