Back in Tokyo. We went to IDC showroom in Odaiba to look for a new bookshelf. The IKEA Billy one we have now has started to give up. The big Tohoku earthquake took a toll on it and the sides are now slowly “sliding” apart. As a result, some of the shelves are resting on the books below 🙂

Once we found the one we wanted and ordered it (to be delivered on January 25th, stay tuned for photos) we drove on to Toranomon hospital where a friend of us has been hospitalised since just after Christmas. He is waiting on a surgery to remove some malfunctioning parts of his digestion system. Though he had not had the surgery yet he still looked healthier than the last time we saw him.

Then our “tour” went to Ginza for dinner at Pescaderia. To our surprise (positive) they had prohibited smoking in the restaurant, which made the evening even more pleasant than we had anticipated. Yummy!
