Ginza boys

Hi all, this is Stuart from another CPU in the Mac Shop posting blog comments after Marco.. Yes, i second that! This place is POWER! 4 levels of Apple in a building.. 1st and 2nd floors are the products gallery.. where there's tons of gadgets to play around with. then level 3 is a cozy dimly lit theatre with talks by the staff on how to use Mac products.. free and you can join in anytime to learn. Level 4 is something else which we haven' had time to explore yet.. after this post maybe.

too bad we can only leave words of fascination here as Peng' camera has run out of batt! right after we took photos with Nissan showroom ladies, fortunately! but still... there' so much to see in Ginza that we are contemplating returning to our new dorm (Tokyo backpackers) to retrieve more batt.. Today is a very happy day for everyone. Coz we have moved out of the sad dormitory at Yadoya.. It's real bad.. like a refugee camp. messed up, cramped claustropobic causing space, a bathroom that is so tight you can't bend over to wash your toes without your butt touching the icy cold wall tiles, dirty and littered floors with dried smattered grape on the floor, plenty of clothes (washed or unwashed who knows) scattered around from probably past decade's residents, having to brush teeth using a sink that's attached to the toilet bowl. innovative no doubt but who wants to think whether they are brushing their teeth with waste water or not! my goodness it is BAD. 1600yen per night but not worth the savings.. now we are at this new place.. seen it in the afternoon for a short while but was already pleased with the lounge and rooms.. much betta. i'm willing to pay for better lodging now.... we all are.

Tomorrow we will be meetin' my dad's good buddy, Tom Tyrell, in Yokohama as he has very generously invited us over to show us around. Thank you very much dad and Tom for the arrangement. We'll be meeting him tomorrow at his country club to watch a baseball game before going for lunch!

Catch ya again soon.. likely more often as we now have a better environment to get wired and communicate!

Stuart in a Mac shop in Ginza, in a very happy mood.
