There's something in the water...


There's a pattern developing here. It's Friday. It's my last full day in a place (in this case Tokyo). And... it's raining! I shouldn't complain - the weather has been generally glorious for 2 weeks in October - spot on in terms of sunshine and heat. However, it does like to give a damp send-off!

To shelter from the rain I started off by going shopping, wondering round a couple of department stores including the "Times Square" store which isn't on a square and looks nothing like New York (although it is near a building which looks a little like the Empire State Building). From there I went to the Metropolitan Photography Museum, seeing a set of photos form Japan in the 70's and 80's, as well as a more general display.

Finally, because it was still raining and I knew I could get from the train to it without going outside, I returned to the Advertising Museum to have another browse through their extensive archives. Still there are thousands I haven't seen! I had dinner at a Japanese/Western fusion restaurant, before heading back to the hotel for my last night in Japan...
