I can’t believe we are leaving, it just hasn’t properly sunk in.I was awoken by an earthquake this morning, probably the strongest I have felt so far. The quake was centred about 200 kilometres away, and sadly killed at least seven people. I cant imagine how scary it would be to be any closer to the centre, the thought that the earth itself could start to move under our feet at any time is hard to grasp. It does make Tokyo a little easier to say goodbye to.

I have at least said goodbye to all my friends here now, after finally meeting with Sam and Sidi this evening. Too many goodbyes!

Sidi took us to an Indian curry house in Shibuya, it was really good, really cheap AND the staff were very sweet. A pity we hadn’t found it earlier. I think it’s called Curry Plaza for anyone who is interested.

Before Sidi and Sam finished work, I met with Michael for coffee at Century Southern Tower. Before now, we haven’t been bright enough to think of going to the hotels for coffee and Keki. The view from the 20th floor bar was nice, but would have been improved if there wasn’t an unused 10 foot wide terrace blocking most of it.

The food was good though, with real mozzarella cheese in the salad, and hotel bars feel the same everywhere, so seem just a little like home.

Michael bought us the loveliest going away present too, he is an excellent present buyer.
