Well, I worked all day Saturday, I got 4 loads of laundry done, and I went out in the heat of the day today but still it seemed like I did a lot of nothing.<\/p>\n<p>I was able to take Thursday off and travel up to Tokyo with Wouter.  He quickly realized that Tokyo is a lot busier than Nagoya.  We met Tomo in Marunouchi, had lunch, and then went to Bic Camera (bi-ca, bi-ca, bi-ca, bic ca-me-ra) to check out some new cameras for Tomo.  <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.triplefstudio.com\/yokoso\/images\/tomo1.jpg\" alt=\"Tomo at the International Forum\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Wouter and I then went on an open roof bus tour that I definitely do not recommend.  I took him to Shinjuku and overwhelmed him with Kabukicho.  As a result, we passed up Shibuya and headed to Roppongi Hills to check out the City View.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.triplefstudio.com\/yokoso\/images\/cityview.jpg\" alt=\"Wouter on top of Roppongi Hills\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t realize we could go outside on the 54th floor.  But you can!  Cool!  So I was on the roof of Roppongi Hills, hanging out around the helipad.<\/p>\n<p>We met Tomo for dinner.  It was good because Wouter and I were so hungry that we were getting grumpy and couldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t really make a decision.  Tomo had a suggestion for us.<\/p>\n<p>After dinner we went to Shibuya so Wouter could see the crazy intersection and then headed to Shinagawa and back to Nagoya.<\/p>\n<p>I had the opportunity to work with my new camera while Wouter was visiting.  I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m starting to dig it.  All the pictures in the entry are from my nice, new camera.
