Dawn came a little after four. It wasn't really until after the sky got light that my feet started hurting and I felt the first signs of a hangover. But it is always that dawn time that makes you aware of your stomach and a lack of sleep ; I would like to live in one of those countries that experiences perpetual darkness for a few months.
Anyway, we managed to keep going on convenience store purchases. Sometimes we became reckless, mio recalls a "chewy sweety drink" that "wasn't good" and made her "a bit sick". I had some beers, an energy drink, and then splashed out on a canned cocktail, a fuzzy navel or moscow mule, the precise details have escaped me.
Here is a building or collection of buildings that I liked a bit, if you look closely at the pink flag/sign it says something about a robot, "a store robot" perhaps? this place ? An over priced shop for punk-descendants? But a nice shop front nevertheless, which I mistook for a hyper configuration of apartments.
Mio's younger brother is a sort of store detective.
Pressing on for some reason (around 5 the trains resume running), the sore feet and empty stomach feeling . . . what sorry adventures await in the grey laconic tokyo dawn?

that certainly looks like a nice place to live what with the northern lights and things. Although I am not sure about the prevalence of house music. . . Perhaps that isn't the case anymore.

Does he investigate the stores themselves? i.e. going around the city unearthing tiny little gems of stores that no one knows about. Or does he stand by a door with a nice uniform watching for people up to no good in the stores?
ReplyDeleteI wonder what the percentage difference is between shoplifting in the northern outpost of Liverpool and the eastern outpost of Japan. (Disclaimer: neither can strictly be described as outposts).
like an anti shop lifting guard person.
