Well, here I am back at the hostel and not in a pod like I originally was supposed to be. I'm going to have to eat my $34 on that one. Honestly, though, I wandered around Akihabara for 2 hours trying to find it. No good. I KNEW the sign was in characters, because I remembered that from hostelworld.com. But I didn't have a map, and the only directions I had were "4 mins from JR Station." Which could be in any direction. Yeesh. And I asked three different metro people, who tried to tell me, but I really couldn't get it. And eventually my feet hurt far too much to keep wandering, and I was tired, so I just came back to the hostel. I'd already paid for tonight, since I sure as hell didn't want to drag all my stuff to the capsule, and I'll be here tomorrow night anyway. Oh well. At that point it was so much easier to get back here and crash in THIS bed. More homey-like.
I never got ahold of Charles today. Hm. I guess I'll try him again tomorrow, but I am definitely going to the Baseball Hall of Fame, and the Natnl. Museum of Art. On Wednesday morning I want to go to the fish market and maybe sumo! It would be so great to see sumo in Japan, and there's a tournament on right now.
I went to Korakuen Gardens today- gorgeous. So much green, and so peaceful, and so right in the middle of Tokyo. I really do like this city a lot. I can't believe how many people seem to be salarymen. Do they look down at the trash people, etc? How is there no trash on the streets here, anyway? Considering you can't find a trash CAN anywhere, it's a very strange phenomenon.
I am so tired. Oh man. My feet need a long massage. They're callused to the point of feeling slightly like hooves. Maybe I should find an onsen, or something.
Tomorrow I need a photo with Bobby Valentine, or I will never forgive myself.
