Arrived in Tokyo at the Narita airport on time. Passing the immigration I noticed that they have changed it since I visited the last time this summer. Now they took a picture and scanned finger prints, just like in the USA.

But customs was passed without much fuss. They only wanted to X-ray a Christmas gift that I brought. It was kind of heavy so maybe they thought it was something more dangerous than what it really was.

Once I passed the customs, Chie picked me up as usual. The strange thing is that whenever we meet it feels like no time has passed since the last time we met. We drove back to Chie’s apartment. Just a brief stop at Chie’s office for lunch, pasta Napolitana and mixed salad – yummi.

After a short rest at home I went to finally have a hair cut at Heat. It was 3 months since I last had a hair cut so it was about time now. I really needed a hair cut earlier but I saved it to have it here in Tokyo. Because it always include shampooing, hair cut, shampooing (second one), massage, and final trimming. You feel like a celebrity.In the evening Chie and I went to YASAKA for kushi-yaki (Japanese style BBQ) dinner. It was great to be back at YASAKA. Not only is the food great at an affordable price but the staff is really friendly too.
