Last day in Tokyo..

Heading to Hakuba tonight for another week of skiing.
Today; hung around Asakusa in the morning, then Shibuya again in the afternoon. Did a bit of shopping, ate a bit of sushi (which was delicious!), got lost wandering the streets which is all part of the fun. Found another apple store - this is becoming a habit so it seems.
Unrestricted internet access to check all those emails, cool toys to play with, good music to listen to. The pick of the crop this time around is the Mac Book Air. A very impressive machine despite the lack of processing speed. If they bring out a new one with a faster processor I'll be very very tempted! I think more realistically a 3g iPhone is on the near horizon.
I'll drive the current powerbook g4 till it dies though. That will be a very sad day.

Listen to me talking about Mac hardware! Not much to talk about today.
Our time staying in Asakusa has been great. A cool little corner of Tokyo with about a billion little alleyways to explore and not as many bright lights as some of the other areas. We were literally just round the corner to the subway station and the hostel was really good. The beds and the doonas were long enough for us taller western people! In Niseko, the doona was way to small! You either covered your feet but not your shoulders, or vice versa. Quite frustrating.
When I get back to tokyo on the 28th, I'll be staying in Shinjuku which is (one of) the big business districts, and big flashy light districts. Should be a good time.

Not sure if the lodge where we are heading has internet, so this might be it for a while!
