Chofu and Tempura in Shibuya
Saturday 3rd October 2009
Slept in until about 2 in the afternoon today, and then headed over to Chofu to meet my friend and former colleague David, his wife Megumi-san, and their lovely baby daughter. In the evening headed back to Shibuya for dinner with my manager and his wife at a tempura place.
Tokyo Bay Boat Trip, Shinagawa and Ikebukuro

Quite a full day - spent the afternoon on a boat trip around Tokyo bay with my friend Aoki-san and his wife Kirilke-san. In the early evening met up with Yuka-chan and Yuta-san in Shinagawa for a quick drink, and then spent the remainder of the evening revisiting a couple of my favourite places in Ikebukuro - Rohlan and Quercus.
