In the morning a man came to our house, explaining that he was from NHK and that we had to pay a monthly fee. We didn't know about that! Combining that price with the cost of the settop box and tv subscription, watching TV is pretty expensive in Japan.

Since we did not know which other store to go to and having near to nothing at home was becoming a hassle, we decided to go to the only store we knew the contents of for sure: Ikea. Not that we went there for furniture, but glasses, mugs, plates, cutlery, waste boxes and sharp knifes were a lot easier to find there at reasonable prices. It was a bit too much to take home with us, so we had to sent a box to our home, which will arrive on Sunday.

In the evening we took a fast tour to Yodobashi and just before closing time we bought an AirMac Extreme (wifi router, no life without internet!) and white PS3 (bluray player, and VOD works now too).

Although Michelle does not like spicy food, she was very kind to take curry rice as dinner! (either that or because all other restaurants were closed already. Who has dinner at 23:00 in the evening anyway? Must be the jetlag still!)
