Well I have not been up to much for the last couple of days, on Wednesday I explored some more of Tokyo and then went and played tennis with Yasuo. I somehow managed to hurt my back after tennis which is a right pain as it means that today I did not go to Nikko, but sat at home all day. Last night after leaving Yasuo I went to Roppongi hills which is a well posh and expensive part of Tokyo. As my back was hurting I went straight to a bar and drank lots of Whiskey. The first bar I happened upon was run by non-Japanese and they were all stockbrokers and IT people and the like. Some good things happened - they bought me lots of drinks - suckers! and I was offered a job if I wanted to work in IT in Japan! After that I staggered back to the capsule hotel that I was staying in. Which is fairly odd but quite cool. Its as you would imagine - like a large coffin but with a TV in there too. There is a blind at the foot end of your bed and a control panel for the TV and lights etc on the wall with a shared bathroom on each floor. There are capsules on top of each other so on each floor there are an upper row and a lower row. Was all pretty cool and different - ok for 3500Yen - about 15quid.
So thats all I`ve really done - watched Star wars and Independance Day (Not masses to choose from here!) Tomorrow I will mainly be doing more resting and then off to catch my flight in the evening. Fingers crossed that my back recovers by next monday.

You're the only person I know who could describe something as coffin-like and cool at the same time!
Don't you have snap shots of Japan?
