Again we went to IKEA. This time to buy the missing door. We ended up with a few more things as well. As you always do when you go to IKEA. Just try go there without buying a thing… Mission impossible.

Then it was back home to do some more assembling. The new door. A drawer for Yoshiki-san. An hour o two later, with soar hands, I was finished. But Chie continued with her organization of the bookshelf.

Meanwhile I took a bath. And read a book. And relaxed. Until it was time for us to leave for dinner.

We met Mina at the Naka-Meguro station and walked from there. A long way towards Shibuya. Our destination, Kan. Not the same Kan as in Ginza. This Kan is spelled Kan with romaji whereas the Kan in Ginza is spelled with hiragana (かん). It makes all the difference in the world.

We had a great dinner at Kan and were totally full. Still we decided to go to Huit for dessert. So we did. At Huit I had a tarte aux fruits (or however it is spelled in French). Yummy. And a cup of jasmine tea, which turned out to be Earl Grey but OK anyway. Chie had Rum and olives and Mina had Rum and a cake too. But I think she got a little disappointed when she saw mine. Because she really wanted the whipped cream I had.

Went with Chie to her office in the morning. I was helping her out with some research about Swedish IT-policy. Some of the information was only in Swedish which is quite a difficult language.

After lunch I went on my own to Ginza. It was fun to be back and to visit all the usual places like Bic Camera, Mitsukoshi department store, and of course the Apple store.

By 5:30 pm I was back at the subway station at Chie’s office to meet her for dinner with Club Leo. We stopped at Roppongi (六本木) Hills and went window shopping. Then we met Non and Ryo and walked together to Lilla Dalarna. A Swedish restaruant owned by a Japanese that spent some time in Dalarna.

We had two starters including a plate of raw spiced salmon (gravlax) and assorted pickled herring. For main course we had reindeer with Kantarell-sauce and grilled beef. To that we had Jansansson’s temptation. And for dessert we had Ris a’la Malta (round corned rice boiled in milk and mixed with whipped cream) and fruit sauce. Yummy.

Met Chie in Ebisu after her job. Bought Narita Express tickets for tomorrow and then we went to Shibuya.

In Shibuya we first went to Mont-Bell and bought a portable tea ceremony kit for me. A new phone for Chie. And then we were waiting for Uwe and Jochen in front of the Policce Box (Koban).

Uwe showed up and told us Jochen was late so the three of us went to the restaurant and waited there instead. Japanese style.

After a while Jochen showed up. And after another while even Mina-sensei showed up. We ate a lot of food. Talked. And had a fun time. And after no time at all they asked us to leave because they were closing the restaurant. Time flies.

At the Shibuya station we said goodbye and went our own ways. It was past 1 am when Chie and I went to bed.
