Today, our landlady treated Justin and I to all-you-can-eat Shabu Shabu. Intent on getting our money’s worth we consumed seemingly endless trays of beef and pork, plates of vegetables and glasses of Calpis. As always the food was delicious. Justin’s post on the subject has pictures.
After lunch we waddled our bloated stomachs over to the Isetan department store where we strolled through 6 floors of Prada and Burberry in our ratty shorts before finding the supermarket in the basement. We made no purchases after we discovered that the going rate for an apple at Isetan is about $5.
Tiring of Isetan, we rode over to Bunka Women’s University, the school attended by most of the Japanese exchange students my family has hosted, including Megumi, a future exchange student who will be leaving for Seattle next week.
By then it was late afternoon so we turned back and explored the area around our apartment a little better while shopping for dinner. We ended up making fried potatoes with bacon and cheese.
After dinner we played computer games with the British tenant, Jon Jo, next door. All in all a very pleasant day.
