day 28 - taking a last breath

01/07/07 22:56
today i didn`t really do much. they told me yersterday that i could relax and sleep as long as i want. "as long as i want" being another term for "10 a.m.", cause that`s when they woke me up. yay. anyway, i told them i`d go for a little trip of yokohama because i hadn`t seen too much of the city so far. so we drove around the harbour area a little, saw impressive skycrapers and stuff, among them the landmarq tower (sp?), japan`s highest building. then we got back here. i`ve slept a little (but i hate falling asleep during the day), listened to my music and did stuff on the internet. that`s it, basically. but one thing that i forgot to mention yersterday. at that kaitenzushi place, we didn`t get to eat directly, because all the tables were taken. we didn`t get to eat when the next guests left, either, because there were like fifty people in line before us. and "like fifty" is not an overstatement in this case, but rather the sad truth. we arrived at 17:50 and got to the table at 19:10. and when we got out of there at half past 8, there were still at least 30 people waiting. the parking lot of the place was the same, every place was taken and the waiting cars were queued up way into the street. at the busiest time we counted 12 cars in line. and not one of the drivers got angry or outraged, noone shouting at the guy in care of the parking lot. i don`t think that`s something you would ever see in germany.
