Unless I am transferred back there again sometime in the future. I'm relocating remember? And my trip back there would leave me just enough time to have a drink at PCM with the boys I guess :-) To make up for the bad shots of the Tokyo Tower, I'll send you some good ones of Met Museum and the Apple Store. About your stuff, it's highly probable that the cabbie did leave it behind at the nearest police station. Shucks! Realization dawns too late! Probably not.

I think that is what they do instead of returning directly to the owner. I may be wrong. * shrug * The cab driver probably left it at the nearest police station.

Fridays in Singapore back in the 90s. They closed down due to competition. Some bloke came up with a bar called TGIF and stole their thunder. Pity about the lost shopping though. As always, a really informative post. :D There used to be T.G.I. Fridays in Singapore back in the 90s. They closed down due to competition.

Are you kidding me? I'll probably pass out after the 6th one :P I really wish we had a better camera for the Tokyo Tower visit. I fell in love with Tokyo all over again. Wonder when I can go there again *sigh* Yea it's really surprising that the cabbie didn't return your goodies. It's so un-Japanese. I mean there was this friend of mine who was pissed drunk and dropped his credit card in a cab. The cabbie literally carried him outside the cab when they reached his place. And the cabbie must have found the card in his cab some time late in the night. He could have swiped it away to glory before the night was over, but he deposited it at the nearest koban (police station), and my friend was woken up from a drunken slumber in the wee hours by the police. He goes to the station and collects his card the following morning. Intact. As easy as that. This must had been an one-off case. Like I said, probably cuz of your bras ;) Japs are quite well-known for their perversion about certain things and acts. LMAOOOOO… 15 pints? Are you kidding me?

Although I thought it was hot in Japan, at least it was very dry. In HK, as soon as I walked outside, I started sweating and within minutes, my clothes would be soaked. I agree; in Tokyo, there are not a lot of people that speak English. I've taken about 3-4 semesters of Japanese, and most of the time, it was enough to get around. Only one time did I not know enough -- we had boarded the wrong train, and when the guy came by collecting cash, we knew we were in trouble. I asked "does this train go to tokyo?" (in Japanese) and he said "yes". However, I did not know how to say "Sorry, we got on the wrong train; can we get off at the next stop?" I even asked "eigo o hanashimasu ka?" (Do you speak english) and sadly, he said "hanasanai". (No) All of the food looks good, but I find it funny that you went to Japan for TGIF's. (American food). I don't think I had anything American to eat at all while I was there this May. Have you ever been to Hong Kong? Although I thought it was hot in Japan, at least it was very dry.
