The last few days have been mercifully uneventful compared to the first two—if we'd kept going at that pace, I'd be a gibbering wreck right now. We've seen and done a lot of things since the last post, but I don't have many stories to tell that aren't just "and then we did this." So I'll just do a photo dump here (many thanks to Cabel's Fancy Zoom) and give a brief outline of events. Click a photo to zoom!


3/13: Visited Takahashi, creator of Katamari Damarcy at Namco Bandai. While having coffee after lunch we met the guy who created Pac Man! In the evening we went to Muscle Park and Sega Joypolis.




3/14: Visited the Tokyo Stock Exchange and the Gibli Museum. Met Kohno-san at his web company, then we all went to a not-very-impressive British Pub for Steve's birthday. Amusing story: we ordered the "Party Platter", an assortment of their fried appetizers. It arrives with salsa, guac, and sour cream, none of which have anything to do with the foodstuffs on the plate.




3/15: Went out to Kashiwa to hang out with Noby and Kaori and the boys at their apartment. Lunch at Bikkuri ("Surprising") Donkey. Dinner at a cool sushi restaurant where you order on a touch screen at the table and your order is routed to your table by a network of conveyer belts.
