Dmitri's Bucket of Projects

I got home a few hours ago, spent that time catching up on mail, paying bills and repacking. Off to Dublin tomorrow, continuing on to Crete on Sunday. Yeah, nuts. Tokyo was good. The roll out was successful, and seeing my friend Al was really good. We putzed around Akihabara for half a day, checking out weird anime/techie stores and arcades. I dropped some money into a pachinko machine. Later we visited the Sensoji Temple (also known as Asakusa Kannon Temple), a Buddhist temple in Tokyo. Sunday I went out to meet him , his wife and their one year old son, in Yokohama. It was a nice area. We did a little boat tour, which was more about just having a nice rest in the A/C while still seeing stuff. the rest of the week I was just anxious to return to NY and start my little va-cay. The last night there I met Al at the Hachiko statue in at Shibuya, we grabbed dinner and hung out at a few arcade waiting for a down pour to end. I picked up my one gift for myself, an Xbox360 Wireless LAN adapter. Why? Because it was way cheaper there. IN the states it costs around $100. There it was 8,290 Yen, which is about $73. I needed one since the move, and opportunity came a knocking. :-) I'll upload pictures in a couple of weeks, when I get back from Crete. Or after the Adirondacks trip.
