Sunday: teeming masses of largely nubile humanity

The thrilling saga of my trip to Japan continues! For those who care, this entry is about 2008 Aug 24. I gave that date in Japanese order, which is similar to programmer ordering -- it's easier to sort files with dates in them if the most significant digits come first. European is reverse, 24 Aug 2008. American, Aug 24, 2008, is screwball.

What to do on my last full day in Japan? What was left to do in Tokyo? Tons, frankly. I opted for trying to get to the ocean, Tokyo being a seaside town, technically. This was something of a failure -- I did see expanses of water, but never a view that said "oh hai! I'm looking at the Pacific from the opposite side" (from California, which isn't even true since I'd have been facing south or southeast, most likely) -- but I had fun anyway.
