Phew... many things have happened since the last post. Here's the short version.
Saturday night, we had dinner at this very cool restaurant. The table was in its own, narrow room, pretty tall though, and the corridors were made of transparent sheets of glass so you could see the running water underneath. Verry cool. Very friendly waitress, as well, she even spoke some Spanish (shock).
Sunday night, we started off in the morning by visiting Asakusa, and somewhere along the way I lost my "#%&%& JR pass, which means I'll have to buy each ticket separately and it'll put a dent in my bank account. Ah well. At least I'll get to complain some.
Next, off to the Imperial Palace, gorgeous place on a sunny day like we had, although it's closed off to the public. Still, the outer garden is very nice.
From there, a couple of subway trains and a taxi away, and we were in Tokyo Disneyland. It's been the shortest I've ever been to one, but as usual the roller coaster rides are never a disappointment. The fireworks with classical music were also spectacular.
And, finally, dinner in some very cool restaurant in Tokyo, in a building recently constructed from what we heard, were a nice couple gave us a hand with the menu (which was all in Japanese). She did all the talking in English, and she even understood a bit of Spanish. Again, shock :-)
The last noteworthy thing: she could tell where we were from by my Buenos Aires T-shirt. I put it on almost like a joke, expecting no-one to recognize it, but there you go - life is full of surprises, special moments, and platitudes.
