Tokyo III

My last day in Tokyo was spent shopping (Isetan, Mitsukoshi and Marui City are the large department stores in Japan) and had to meet Donald Fountaine for lunch. He has been living in and out of japan for more than 20 years about and loves it here. He does all kinds of odd jobs but also studies classical dance as performed by Geisha's. Has an extremely good teacher and even performs at times in theaters here. He is tall so when dressed up as a Geisha he invites a lot of attention to say the least. Very nice guy who I will definitely meet again.
New shoes were a must..old ones nearly gave so had to buy them. new hip ones ofcourse.
On the right still a picture from the Edo museum...
Last museum for today is the Tokyo Museum for Modern Art, where they have an exhibition on Japanese Art Nouveau from 1900 till 1923 ...very, very interesting . Stayed there rather long time but enjoyed it. Early night... (on a saturday night !!) cause my flight was at 08.35 the next day.
One of the benefits of having a Gold Star Alliance card is that at times you get bumped up to business class for free and so it happened this morning.
Sat next to an apparently famous person (the whole crew came by for an autograph) who was very nice but on her way to a funeral.
Back home after a great weekend to a lot warmer climate here in Nagasaki than in Tokyo.
Dinner with Alexndra and Christoph (her boyfriend who finally arrived and is going to stay for a month !)
