So, I met Tomoe in Yokohama. Here are some pictures of our visit together. Click on any picture to enlarge!
Here she is trying on my glasses.
We met Suzuki-san (my boss in Japan) and he took us to the Ramen Museum which was very cool!
It was a huge cavernous underground building that was made to look like old town Yokohama! Look, it has a sky painted on the ceiling! It was amazing!
Tomoe had a big bowl of ramen noodles! And of course - beer (but note that mine's bigger!).
We bought a couple of butterfly rings that we wore that night at "Old Yokohama".
Suzuki took us to a hostess bar where we did karaoke.
Well, Suzuki and I did karaoke, Tomoe made friends with the hostesses.
I met one hostess with a sequin dress (and everyone knows how I feel about sequins) - here she is, with a close-up of her dress. (I think she started to think me odd at this point).
The sequined girl's friends showed up, and we had a pretty blitzing party before we got Tomoe safely on the shinkansen that took her home!
Wish I had more pictures.
