Sunday 17th

It was a nice cool rainy day. A welcome change for the recent weather.

After breakfast I met up with a coworker and we decided to head up to the Grandberry mall in Yokohama. After three train rides we arrived. And notice that everybody was walking around with their dog. They had a "dogs are people too" shop and people were out and about. After a few good laughs it was in to Montbell, which is what REI is called in japan. The prices are high as in the US, but probably higher. I mean that is more than a few extra letters on the logo. Money doesn't grow on trees, unless you are Nintendo.

I stopped into the "Brickshop", standard lego stuff, nothing really unique to Japan. All the actual legos were exactly the same as the US ones.

I stopped at the Adidas outlet store and picked up a Yamuri Giants hat.

Lunch was Outback steakhouse. After my coworker almost left his new pack at the train station we got back to Yokosuka. Hung around the hotel room for a little while and then went to Church.

Dinner was subway, I watched the russians take the platform in womens tennis.

Then it was spindown to sleep time.
