I spent part of the morning being highway-robbed at the university hospital in order to get a prescription for *yet another* ear infection. I get so many of these that I asked the doctor if there was anything I could do to treat these things at home, or better yet, if there was a more preventative approach I could be taking.
"Um, don't catch a cold."
Thanks.
But at least now I have a huge pile of drugs to show everyone:
Maybe this will last me through the next two or three infections...and at the rate I'm going, that'll just be til the end of the year or so.
But let's talk about something more interesting now. How about Odaiba? I spent this past Wednesday there with @LikesBlueBoots, window shopping and luncheoning (it sounds fancier when I say it that way...).
It's also one of the best places to get good photos of a Tokyo skyline panorama.
We enjoyed some Indian curry for lunch and then made our way through some of the shopping centers. This time, I stumbled upon some curiosities that I hadn't seen on previous visits. For instance, I now know exactly where to go if I need a wig selection in pretty much any color available:
I also had to do the touristy thing and take pictures of some of the landmarks on the island, including Tokyo's very own Statue of Liberty, Fuji Television, and the giant Gundam, but also the lesser-known "Flame of Liberty":
A quick stop at my favorite outlet was a bit disappointing, but I did come away with a much sought-after set of acrylic chopsticks. Now if only I had dinner guests...
My friend was incredibly patient with me while I took detours for photos, but in spite of the overcast skies I think I got some nice ones.
Tomorrow: fireworks!
