The kids were dead to the world this morning. We stayed out a little late last night in Shibuya, and the kids added a one hour spa setup in our apartment when they got home... Cute.
Once we were packed and ready for later, the kids indulged us by not complaining too loudly as we went to Azamino, where Beth and I used to live from 1994 to 1997. The place had changed, but it hadn't - it still looks like a pretty nice place to live. I was surprised at how many questions the kids asked and just how interested they were. It seems like a very long time ago that we scrounged together every penny we had (and then some thanks to Hara-sama) and moved to this little suburb.
We booted down the Denen Toshi line to Futakotamagawa where we used to hang out and eat Indian food with other expats. This play and changed - big time. It was a huge built up, modern playground for adults! Our little Indian restaurant "Moti" was still there (now 7 floors above ground, but still the same place!) and we all had some awesome butter chicken. Japan truly has some of the best Indian food in the world.
Late afternoon, we were all sitting at the airport catching up with emails, YouTube videos, minecraft and more. I am really pleasantly surprised how the team has been to far - very relaxed, almost over comfortable with this undertaking, and with just over 2 weeks under our belts. I'm going to miss Japan but I know I will be back sooner than 20 years from now.... I will miss the trains, the activity, the peacefulness, the efficiency, the food and pretty much everything else (except the smoking, right Robin!). See you in Hong Kong in 5 hours!!
