        Yesterday started with traditional Japanese breakfast…

        Then to Flat Head HQ - nice to know I have a corner in Nagano as well as Hachioji…

        Then to see some of Kobayashi-sans collections - cars, bikes, pyrex, snap on tools, cameras (basically, you name it, he collects it)…

        Off to lunch at another Googies cafe - more of his collections on American advertising signs….

        Then my battery died…..

            I arrived back from Japan yesterday. Woke up at 2am as is the norm and was missing G&P so much I thought I'd go and welcome them  at London Heathrow. (Actually, they are bringing back an item I had left behind but that truly is a secondary motive)

            I got exited as I saw the first Japanese come through customs. You can always spot them by their pristine four-wheeled luggage gliding effortlessly by their side. Bags in hall had already been announced so I knew the reunion was in sight.

            Japanese super luggage after super luggage passed me by. Surely they hadn't traveled coach and were to be the last ones through?

            So I called Giles. He soon answered." Where are you?" I asked.

            " in Tokyo " came the bemused reply.

            I got the day wrong. They arrive tomorrow.

              We feel very bad about that.  G&P still at  Haneda Airport, just going to bed for an alarm call at 03:30….

                I made it today! Found the shop overwhelming (honestly) with the amount kit in stock that was there in real-life. After a year or so of ordering online, to know the makes/models and see it in person….It took a while to get used to., Bumped into H-San, was skilfully helped by #2, and Tom.



                @G Turns out some of your lollies are still about =), thanks 🙂

                Oh, and yes, I picked up a few pieces in person =), could have picked up more, including those tote bags, the IHJ-06,8…

                  ….and the general quality/standard of dress over here is so high. Getting schooled left, right, and center. It's awesome!

                        Qantas just sent me an e-mail with a great deal to Japan for April 2014. 1/2 price. Couldn't resist. Will be in Japan for April 2014. Hope to see some of you there ;). (Bumping the last thread where I visited Japan, hopefully okay)
