Ex Pro Wrestler
One of us having dinner at Daikichi tonight is a world champion ex pro wrestler. Guess who!
New Friends at Bravo Chicken
After a busy week we had no energy to cook at home. Instead we walked all of 150 meters to Bravo Chicken. At Bravo Chicken we had good food and met some new friends, two girls of 6 (Jemma) and 8 (Jean) years old. They were sitting next to us and got interested in Chie’s ear rings that she bought in Shinjuku.
At the end the older girl got one of the ear rings. The younger one found out and came back to us, looking the cutest she could (probably practices a lot on her dad), pout her head slightly tilted to the side on her folded hands (resting on the bar stool), and said “ii~ na~,” an expression that is almost impossible to correctly translate. In this situation, the way she said it and blah blah blah… Roughly translated and to the core of the meaning… “I want one too” but really not at all that selfish and direct. Leave a comment with a question or two if you have no clue about what I just tried to say and want to know more.
Dinner at Tatsuharu
Met Chie and Tatsuharu for dinner. Yummy!
Shopping in Ginza
I have started to exercise at home rather than at the gym. It works quite well with only a 15 kg weight. Today I put it on my back and climbed the stairs down-and-up 10 rounds (if you didn’t know our building is 12 stories). It took about 40 minutes so it a nice exercise that gets your blood pumping and keeps your legs strong 🙂
After a shower and some rest Chie and I visited our friend at the Toranomon hospital again. Just a few more days now before his surgery.
The we went on to Ginza for some shopping. I had a visit to the Apple store and bought a new activity monitor. My Nike+ Fuelband got broke a while back so it was an opportunity to try something new. Misfits’ activity monitor Shine. I also bought Phillips Hue lights.
The shopping made us hungry so we walked to Sicilia just off the beaten track in Ginza. It’s a small Italian restaurant (one of the first in Tokyo).
Once back home I hurried to install and try the Phillips Hue light. It was fun though most likely we will go with a warm, relaxing light. An interesting thing is that you could change it to some of the preset lights optimised for e.g. reading or concentration. Suitable for our “library” 🙂
