ダニエルの冒険

On Sunday morning I woke up to a call from my friend Jerome. He was on his way into Tokyo from Kanagawa and would be arriving in 55 minutes. I showed, dressed, checked out, left my bag in a locker at the station (300 yen to lock it and get the key). We met up and went into an incredibly classy building next to the station. The place dripped of money and most of the restaurants (of which there were 40 or so) had pictures of their chef on the menus outside the door. A lot of the places were French so Jerome helped with the menus.

I woke up on Saturday morning, got to the station, and got the 10am train to Tokyo via Nagoya. I had an hour to spare and I was told that the train from Tokyo to Jimbocho takes 14 minutes, so I thought I’d check in at the hotel (Sakura hotel again) and leave my bag there for the day. Well, I ended up taking a very inefficient route, and got on the express train instead of the normal train, which meant that I missed my stop and had to go back on the express on the same line but opposite direction, then change from the express and go back onto the normal again so I arrived at Suidobashi, where I changed to the Mita line which got me there. I ended up being 30 minutes late.
