Riding my bike along Meguro river today was strange. It was like riding along a river of green tea. Never seen the river this colour before. It looked yummy 😛
Green Da Yo!

Visiting Coco
Spent the day in Tokorozawa with Coco. It’s too hot right now to stay over the night, and to walk Coco outside during the daytime. So, instead of staying over we returned to Tokyo after dinner.
Dinner at Mai Thai
In the morning Chie and I paid another visit to the pool. Another 2 hours before going back home. No sense staying longer as it quickly became too crowded.
In the evening we met Ryo and Henrik (a work colleague of mine) at Mai Thai in Ebisu. We had Thai food that was so hot our lips got numb. Yummy!
Pool Side
Chie also took the day off today. We spent the morning together at the pool side about 250 meters away from the apartment. It was quite cooling to stay in the shadow and then to cool off further in the pool when the shadow got too hot.
A funny thing with Japanese public pools is that every 50 minutes the lifeguards call everyone out of the pool. To make sure everyone rest and get warm, because whether you are a grown up or a kid visiting with your parents you are not capable of making that sure for yourself 😉 Then the lifeguards checked that nobody was on the bottom of the pool (surprisingly people tend to drown about 49+ minutes after entering the pool… NOT). I laughed all the way home.
Biking…
Had a day off from work and spent most part of it outdoors, despite the heat and humidity. I went on my bike to Tama river, rode along the river towards the coastline, before turning back towards Shinagawa and finally back home to Naka-Meguro. 3 hours ride in sunny weather and 35+ degrees.
What do you do after such a ride? Well, you take your 15 kg weight and go to the park for some weight exercises. Spent an hour there and then walked up the stairs with the weight. Phew. Deserved some ice cream after that.
