Tripping Far Side

It's not every morning that you get waken up by an earthquake. It was a 6.9 magnitude that hit in central Japan, but from Osaka, I could feel it from the 24th floor. I was worried at first, as you can feel the building swaying and the walls creaking. Here's the article on it:

So many injuries, so sad. A moment of silence....

Today wasn't so interesting. I swear I'm still hungover from Friday night. :) I needed to get some luggage to bring back some of the gifts that I bought here. So I went to check out Yodobashi Camera again. I saw a 103 inch TV while I was there. 5,600,000 yen anyone? That's about $47.5K US dollars!

Then I walked to Loft, which is my favorite store in Japan. They have the coolest stuff--really all kinds of things. If you're making a stop in Japan, make sure to stop by here or Tokyu Hands. You'll find stuff that's hard to find in the States. Especially for trick watches or neat toys, you can't find a better selection.

Dante and Yumiko arrived today! So we went to grab some dinner at Ganko, a kaitenzushi place. And then we hit Doma Doma, an izakaya near Hep 5 and Hankyu Sanbangai. It's great to see them--they're only here for a week, so we need to make sure to work hard and play hard, for sure.
