Caught the Saikyou-line to Shinjuku today, that's just one of the many big places full of bright neon signs that has a sort of "entertainment-district" (restaurants and arcades and bars and whatnot), but nearby is also a business district full of some unbelievably enormous buildings. One of them, the Tokyo Government Building, has an observation deck on the 45th floor. Amazing night views!! And Tokyo just has this really amazing three-dimensional feel about it - you'll be on ground level, but the streets will be suspended above you, or you'll go down some stairs to some massive underground shopping plazas. It's just so massive, so awe-inspiring. It just "smells like money."
Anyway we just came back and ate japanese curry for dinner, which was good because after walking around town for just a few hours we were starving! So, now we're just going to drink some beers and probably have a slightly earlier night than we did last night (6am, lol!).
Tomorrow i plan to write my resume, but also i have to go and get a foreigner registration card, and perhaps a bank account too...
Ok, enough for now. Seeya!

I hope you get to apply for your 外国人登録証明書 in Japanese.. I think I would have felt to have missed out if I hadn't had to go through this initial rite of passage, trying desperately to understand the city hall guys...
In Tokyo the forms are in English :)
