Adventurous Trip To Tokyo( I )

Been to Tokyo 3 days, which is financially adventurous again.

For the first time, took a plane to Tokyo. Flight hour is approx. 55 min. It cuts fatigue off to travel. Though, I got sick because of the shakes of plane. ANA attendant gave me some candies, and for the first time I found it effective for traveling in the air. Partly because I don't have these kind of sickness.

After took Keikyu line to Shinagawa, felt nostalgy all the way watching scenary. When was it I visited Tokyo like this way? No idea. I was attending graduate school in Meguro and had to drop out. It was very painful experience and I haven't visited the school very often.

First, headed for Omote-Sando, where translating agent A was. A friendly co-ordinator talked to me. It was one room apartment and looked cozy. Looking at my CV, he told "Arcade games! Remember old days" like that.

At Omote-Sando, as told in the forcast, pouring rain started to fall. Still had a big luggage and wearing suede shoes( didn't have alternative ), escaped to cafe. From there I called to school.

Around 6pm, as my teacher told, "The architecture which makes ppl anxious" appeared (Actually, the word suddenly re-appeared in my brain when I saw it). Ookayama station has completely changed. My heart became full again.

After wandering in the library, which reminded me many things again, headed for main architecture. I knew the place of labo has changed, at the same time many of public phone has moved away. How the time passed. For some reason, I don't own mobile now.

Waking around feeling deja vu, found Chemical Faculty's Office. There I finally could contact to labo.

After talking with the assitant still in touch, students were back from seminar. I encountered young and hard-working junior, which called kouhai in Japan. Passed them omochi(mochi), made from rice, as I knew in this hour students can get very hungry. Toyama is famous for rice, and I love the taste of the omochi shop. I hope it made them less starved.

My professor couldn't recognize me at first, suppose partly because my hair is very long now, contrary to Tokyo days. Talked a bit with him, but as a student came in, he started hot discussion. A student told, "When he started like that, it continues 1 hour or so". Found still he loved orchid. Beautiful one was on his desk.

The labo was still in touch with South America for collabolation.

And I was drinking with assistant until last train. Quite interesting and funny, and heard what made professor so hot. The very hot term I use quite often in other purpose.

When arrived at hotel, it was 12:00 sharp.
