MMmmmm Hitomi just cooked me breakfast! Sauteed celery and sauteed mushrooms and toast with cheese! I thought she was just going to reheat the okonomiyaki we made last night.

Contacts

4:09pm JST Tuesday 26 April 2005

I'm in Shibuya now to get contacts. Have just filled out the first timer customer form to the best of my ability. It does not seem that any of the staff speak English. This should be interesting.

On the way here, I got into Kosugi station and it starting blowing rain, so I tried to call Jen, Shoko and Rene, but none of them answered their respective phones. I hoped I could get somone to close my window, but I ended up going back to do it. Got pretty wet on the way there and back.

This doctor shop is like a clinic; with lots of people being lined up and moved through the process. Nothing like Dr Pickering where we make appointments and such. These guys (and by guys I mean girls) are calling names over the loudspeaker and such. 16 people in the waiting room and a name called about once every 2 minutes. I trust I can still get good care for my eyes; this place was recommended by Hitomi's friend Kaori.

5:56pm

That was pretty darn painless. A woman who could speak some English checked my eyes (except for the retinal exam part) and the rest was just buying stuff. I got free daily wear contacts and 5000 yen off for being a first time customer for a grand total of under 8000 yen for exam and 12 pairs of use-for-two-weeks contacts and 10 single use contacts. Nice.
