Japan Day 6: Zoka and Walking Around


Today I went to Zoka.... in Tokyo! It's amazing that I am 4476 miles from home, and I was able to enjoy a cup of coffee from my favorite local coffee shop. I mean, there are Tully's and Starbucks everywhere here as well, which still blows my mind, but those are corporatized... Zoka on the other hand exists in Seattle, Seattle, Seattle, and umm Tokyo. Globalization baby.

It was also ironic that I had my mp3 player set on random and it happened to have Nirvana playing as we walked into Zoka. :)

Anyway, the day was mostly dedicated to walking around Akihabara, Shinjuku, and Shibuya. We went to a part in Shibuya at night, walked around, and also met another australian guy Scott used to work with.

I guess unrelated to Tokyo, but ironic or crazy... we were watching the Monday Night Football game this morning on the internet live, and it was a great game that went to OT after Jason Elam of the Broncos kicked a last second tying field goal... I was saying Brett Favre was good, but not a very "good" QB (i.e. he may not be the best teacher or example for being a QB since he does alot of very poor things), and then he starts off OT with a beautiful bomb down the sidelines for the game winning TD in OT.... yea. I got showed up there...
