Spring claws it's way into Tokyo

The days are getting longer, with sunup now before 6am each morning, and sunset somewhere between 6 and 7 at night. But for the past week it's been a tenuous situation with the sun battling to shine through the clouds and rain. Apparently this is normal - everyone expects April, May, and part of June to be wet and windy on and off.


We headed off to Akihabara last weekend, where maid cafes and electronics shops vie for the attention of geeks and tourists. If you're interested in some stereotypical Japanese wierdness, click here.

This weekend it was a little tamer, with a visit to CostCo to refill the freezer with bagels, cheap chicken and beef, and some sundry bits and pieces. Including a 2kg back of gummy bears!

Sonia is on her way to Bangkok now, followed by a trip to Melbourne next week.

I just realised that at the end of April I will have been here in Tokyo for 9 months. Time flies!
