LIVE blog — me in an empty cafe with wireless

I’m in a pastel colored café at the foot of the Shinjuku Prince Hotel. It’s just me and seemingly the one j-girl staff with some kind of Hawaiian sound j-music playing. I found this place via a website of free hotspots in Tokyo. Damn this is the most uncomfortable bench seat I’ve ever sat on. It’s very weird to be in an empty cafe in Shinjuku, but then again it is on the 3rd floor of a minor department store and close to its closing time. I might become a regular here, reasonably priced mango juice (¥350), non-smoking, and free wireless Internet access all less than a 12 minute walk from my apartment. Too bad it closes at 10pm though! That will limit how much I come here. Plus this damn uncomfortable seat!

It’s a very blustery day in the city, very similar to that one day Pooh had. Thanks to my sweet neck gaiter, and my Mountain Hardwear Windstopper Tech Jacket, I walked forth unabated. I actually like foul weather as it gives me a chance to really put my gear to the test, and as people walk around cowering and looking weaker, I feel stronger…striding eyes up unscathed.
