23:00

We visited Commune 246 in Omotesandō for a drink. These areas of Tokyo feel strangely at lot like home to me now. At the end of the night we went to watch the latest Star Wars. This was my second time.

Above is a photo of Star acting silly.

We had coffee in Omotesandō Koffee. I missed feeling this free. Thank you tourists for sharing the contagious wanderlust wherever you go.

At the end of the day we went to a small local restaurant in Sangenjaya, an izakaya, that only serves tempura. Besides the most standard types of tempura like shrimp, mushroom and onion, you can also have egg and crab tempura. It was an unexpected feast. Star fell in love with the waitress. I think she has a thing for Japanese girls. Apologies for the lack of photos.

The photo above was taken during the day as we walked from Shibuya to Sangenjaya.

This is a photo of Star in the Narita Airport train station. I forgot how smart and charming she is. I’m happy she is visiting Tokyo at this time of the year. She is special to me, I don’t know how special, but I want to find out.

Day 82

I don’t know why we were outside as it was freezing cold. But once we got back inside Tasuichi, a guy was speaking to my friend’s girlfriend. In fact she’s not even his girlfriend, just his lover. But he picked up a fight with the guy straight away.

After about one hour calming down the drunken and heated gentleman who wanted to beat the crap out of my friend, we went to another pub. Against my recommendation. Soon after, one of the girls in our group was missing. We found her passed out in the bathroom. It was one of those nights where everyone was too drunk to even compute. I guess they're all trying to forget the year that has passed. I should have not missed my last train.

Day 81

I’m at Muji Café. I’m currently taking 9 pills a day to fix my cold. I’ve given it time to heal itself and gave up. I'm sure the Japanese way will be more efficient.

23:00

I’m wow-amazed by the new Star Wars: The Force Awakens movie. The soundtrack is incredible, the acting is perfect and it feels just like how the original trilogy felt like. I couldn’t be happier. The two of us watched it alone after weeks of trying to plan a group movie night.

I haven’t seen Su Hui for almost 3 years. She’s touring in Japan this winter and tonight she is performing in Kichioji, northwest of Tokyo. Shiho and I went to see her show and we all had drinks in Shibuya at the end of the night. Artistically, Su Hui is known as Anise.

I’m at Suzu Café on the third floor of a building in Shibuya. I’m impressed by how the city space multiplies itself several times above and below ground.
