Daniel

10:58pm JST Monday 29 November 2004

Hung out with Daniel today; after saying bye to Jen (who is going to Perth for 10 days), we chowed 8 and 10 takoyaki and then went to Tamagawa park, to which I had never previously been. Nice place that used to overlook Tamagawa (Tama River) until a utility building thing was built, blocking the view. I am actually presuming the park was built before the utility building; I don't know if it's true. However, I am certain that the hill on which the park was built was there before the utility building.

Daniel gave me his thoughts on the socio-economic-political status of the US (after I asked if he thought the US dollar would crash to worthless (short version: no)), and I could see that my impression of the US is definitely different from my vantage point than from his vantage point. It's probably at least as much a Rob vs Daniel thing as a Japan vs US thing, but he definitely is less concerned about the future of the US as a nation than I am.

The weather was basically perfect; the sun shining; the chocolate muffin and azuki bean dessert were yummy.

Work was awright; I had my last lesson with Hiromi; I gave her my digits so maybe I'll see her again.

Met a dude who likes Nine Inch Nails and Tori Amos. Woah. His favorites are Linkin Park (sp) and other popular rock bands that I care nothing about.
