Took a walking tour and I was the only one who showed up. So I got a private tour, basically. Nice! The lady, Reiko, taught me a lot about the development of buddhism in Japan. You know I love that stuff.

Lunch was forgettable and made my tummy hurt.

I didn’t really have plans until 4, so I picked a direction and started walking.

You can see so much by just looking around here. All of a sudden some sweet old lady comes up and tells you about a thing, and an idea makes sense at last. I’m as in love with Japan as the first time I was here.

I had dinner with a Chinese gal at a restaurant that served dumplings, it’s what you eat for new years, dontcha know. We then watched some crazy show on Chinese TV. Over a billion people were watching it at the same time. It’s like Dick Clark but for many more hours, stranger, and in Mandarin.

My last day is tomorrow and I’m going to try and do something momentous lol. We’ll see if this actually happens.

Good morning to America and happy Year of the Rat!!
