12:24 -- There's been a fairly big earthquake this morning. I was shit scared in my bed. I was waiting for the walls to collapse and stuff. Nothing happened.

21:17 -- Well, the quake last night was a BIG quake. I've asked Sachi, and she told me it was the biggest quake in the last 4 years. It was 4something on the Richter scale.

Anyway, I haven't done much again today. Pablo called me this morning (a friend from Paris); we should go for a drink sometime before I leave. Kao, a French-Japanese designer, will also be there. I haven't seen him in years. It will be cool for sure.

I had lunch around the office in Asakasa, and then I went to Shinjuku, strolling in malls and Yodobashi. I came back to the office around 17:00, hoping to have a phone conf. with my Finnish colleagues. It didn't happen, I'm not really lucky with phone conferences lately.

On my way back to the hotel, I wandered in Kanda. It was very weird. The streets near the station are full of restaurants, pachinkos, and hostess bars for salarymen. People looked at me weirdly. I guess it was the camera.

22:00 -- Oh yeah, I forgot to bitch about the ryokan. It sucks. It's super noisy and literally above the JR rail tracks. The owners are NOT friendly at all, and the room is far from being nice. On top of all that, it's quite far the "action". The only good thing is that it's the right station to go to Narita airport; I wont have to carry my stuff long.

23:45 -- No quake, please. Goodnight.
