Train Delivery

After we have already emptied all our bank accounts, we went on an even more expensive shopping excursion. Synthesisers! The shop only had used stuff, and they still had stuff which went up to around $17k. But it’s fun to be able to play with some older technology, where you could actually just fiddle with the dials and hear the effects you were having, instead of staring at a computer screen and desperately searching for the menu that has the knob that you might want.

It’s surprising how popular Roppongi Hills is still during this time of year. We were thinking of going up the observatory, but after seeing the queues which were buying tickets, we somewhat changed our minds and decided that it’s far nicer from the ground. Plus the building itself is illuminated in such a way that you do need to see it from the outside. Even if you have to look through the legs of the migrating arachnids.

Today’s dinner was definitely not the best tasting meal we’ve had while we were hear, but it was the best delivered ones. Being announced from the kitchen, and then arriving by train at your platform / table. Washinoko was certainly enjoying the show.

After failing pretty miserably at the music rhythm games yesterday, I tried it properly with headphones today (like all the other pros who make us feel inferior). That certainly worked quite a bit better and I got up to the difficulty of “Expert” (whatever that means), at which point it started assuming that I had more than two hands and I started failing again. Oh well.

Tomorrow Mt. Fuji is on my program for the first time. And consequently more stuff for me to hurl over …
