Its Tokyo. Its the morning. I had very tentative arrangements with Karen for later that night, and set out to explore the city. A series of random choices led me to Harajuku, where I bumped into her - out of 12 million people. This happened with adam in London as well, just looked up and there he was sitting opposite me on the train.
thats her there:

Question: what does an 'Eggplant and Oregano' pizza have on it?
....
....
Answer: Eggplant and bacon (no oregano).
Question: what does a vegetable sandwich have?
....
Answer: meat, and slightly more vegetables than the other sandwich.
Question: what is a vegetarian sausage?
Answer: I didn't bother to find out.
ok ok ok ok, so i'm the minority.
but WHY is there a need to add meat to absolutely everything to make it officially 'food'?
i can rely on this chocolate mousse (Hershey's josh, Hershey's), and so i have had to eat a lot of them. its been very difficult.

Daily Happenings
got a haircut finally. was difficult to find somewhere that a) had clippers, b) didn't want to wash
my hair. not only that, but i had to buy the haircut from a vending machine, while the guy was standing right next to me. then i handed him the ticket. the vending machine even had a flashing light, so it was a robot as of the official definition (IRRC, june 2002, see Fernandez et. al).also, he spent a long long time meticulously trimming and perfecting the area around my ears and sideburns.
this was a microcosm for life in japan. see my brain for more information.
Non-sequitur
they love jingles here. and they are so damn good.
Eye on japan
if you don't have dressing on your salad, people will worry that you aren't enjoying it as much as you could be, and are prone to fuss around rectifying the situation.
this is a good thing.
