Narita Express
On Narita express to Tokyo. We are about an hour outside of Tokyo, but this is the main Tokyo airport. Only food place at airport: Starbucks. That is deep right there.
This train and everything thus far in Japan has fit in with the clean, friendly and high tech stereotype. The problem being that unlike the neuromancer days, everyone the world over can peep Japanese tech whenever they want via YouTube. So, unless I meet a person who is actually a cyborg or a complete robot I will probably leave Japan feeling kind of meh about cutting edge tech.
That said a guy could use a nice Japanese chef’s knife. Also what should I get people? Mechanical pencils are my go to right now. Pentel don’t fail me now. That and maybe some postcards?
This trip combines two of my worst things. a) buying stuff for the holidays and b) buying souveniers.
