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” 🙂
