His last day

Today was Brendon's last full day in Japan. He leaves tomorrow morning and I can't bear to think about it.

We met up with Chieko for lunch at Sapna. Boy, is that mutton curry good. Brendon met Chieko last year too. She thinks he's a "very nice guy." So do I.

Cheiko & Brendon

A band performing in Sanners. Supreme Sound Recreation. They were really good too.

Then we headed to Osaka to go up the Umeda Sky Building. It was really windy up there but it gave Brendon a good view of Osaka. I've been up it twice before but recommend going up at night. It's much prettier with all the lights but in Winter it would be freezing cold.

We went straight back to Sanners, did some last minute shopping then met the others at Starbucks. Leigh had organised dinner at Cafe Istanbul. Alas, there was no belly dancing that night but we did try the hookah scented with apple (it was from Egypt).

In Daiso - the 100 yen shop

We didn't stay out that late because Brendon had to finish his packing *sigh* damn, am I going to miss him.
