Last post from Tokyo, unless I get bored again

The clock just turned 1. It's cold and dark outside Haneda Airport and I'm huddling under a felt blanket inside the 'Refresh Room'.

Tucked in the left wing of the Arrival Hall, the room costs 1000¥ per hour, the use of the shower, another 800¥ for a half hour. It's maybe thrice the size of a cubicle in the manga kissa. But still expensive considering you can easily sleep out on the chairs in the departure hall.

Expensive for a hobo...

Going home with the sneeze

Gosh, I've never sneezed so much. And I'm not even down with the flu. Weather forecasts say it's warmer today in Tokyo so I thought I'll head out without my bubble jacket.

And then at the hotel lobby, I heard someone asking the recep for an umbrella.

It's raining and I've checked in my brolly along with my luggage with the hotel concierge. It's my last day here, you see.

So I'm braving the winter rain - my final adventure in Tokyo. This year.
