Our big rule for this trip is that Elias must curb his desire to see everything and fill every day with exhausting activities.
I’m doing ok. I couldn’t quite sleep in as much as Marthese this morning, and decided to pop out solo to Shibuya for a quick shop and a burger. Explored Tsutaya where I finally found a 3DS case that I won’t be embarrassed about pulling out on the bus, tried a “Freshness Burger”, the first of what I hope to be many Japanese burger chains, and popped into a Pachinko machine parlor. Pachinkos are basically this weird fusion of pinball and poker machines, and they’re huge in Japan. The sound inside the building was deafening, like a million metal balls crashing around your ears. Madness.
We did a little grocery shop (mostly to stock up on vegetarian options) and spent the day chillin’.
