Can I Wash My Moncler?



I'm going to leave office and go back to the hotel. It seems a good time to do a summary.

The first week went pretty well, I settled into a hotel and I recovered from the time difference very quickly. The hotel is in Ikebukuro, a district near the university, which for some reason is not considered very safe. I have never met any problem, so I can not really say why.

The room is equipped with kitchen, TV 32 ', washing machine and more. I'm at the eighteenth floor of twenty-six. Near the hotel there are two supermarkets: Tobu and Seibu, which mean respectively East and West and East and West respectively

underground station is within walking distance and takes me directly on the campus of Waseda.

The weather has been swinging with some very clear days, and other gray, and regardless of this precipitation, wind, heat and cold were completely random. In short, I have not understood what a season it is.

Over the weekend I was in Shinjuku-Gyoen, which was open for free to celebrate the twenty-year reign of the emperor. There was obviously a lot of people.



The colors in the fall are much more beautiful and the roses are blooming in the garden of France.






Returning from the park, in front of Shinjuku station, a guy playing electric guitar, and it was very very good.



Unfortunately shortly after the police came to stop him. He thanked the audience laughing and started to pack up his stuff.

I also found Obama's visit here in Tokyo, which probably justifies the amount of police around and I saw that I have additional questions at customs.

One of these days I'm back here in a curry-shop near the campus where the lady recognized me and gave me the "sweet potatoes" for me at home. I have not tried ...
