Sunday, another busy morning for catering. Makes me wonder if Japanese people like staycations during weekends. Clear sunny day so you can see Mount Fuji from the hotel if your room was facing that way. Was planning to spend the day browsing around Akihabara. Still on the quest f...

Been capturing morning time lapses and this morning's sunrise turned out good... Until a fly appeared at one point somehow outside the window. Otherwise clear skies, a fairly warm day. Bought this Suntory Tennensui brand of water marketed with Suzume and Shinkai's other movies. T...
