After sushi and green tea, I trekked over to the National Palace, East Garden and strolled through all the nooks and crannies until I thought my legs would wither. Found a Starbucks and spent over 3 dollars for a black coffee - a gal's gotta get her fix - and then hit the Tokyo Museum of Modern Art and then the Crafts Museum. At this point, I was SO wobbly on my feet that I walked to the Tokyo train station, used my JR Rail Pass and hopped a train to Shin-Fuji, hoping to catch a glimpse of the great mountain, which, as you can imagine, was covered in clouds. Not to worry. I bought a rubbery sweet of some pear-like flavor and substance, hopped the train back in time for rush hour experience, getting back to Asakusa by about 6:30 and found a soba noodle restaurant where I had edemame, beer and a soba salad. I've been fiddling with this damn blog since then! Tomorrow a run and then I begin heading off to Ho Chi Minh City where I will meet my friend Joseph from Kuching. We we spend 5 days exploring the Delta before I begin my journey up the Mekong River. Stay tuned!
