night 3 morning 4
so after being eaten by mosquitoes and ants and whatever other strange insects decided to jump on me i decided to stop being a Hiro and moved to the hallway.
Jet lag has a good side-effect that it's no problem to wake up at 5am. So I went to stretch my sore spots from sleeping on the floor to a local park. It was a quarter to 7am and local elderly just started assembling around to clean the park and to socialize. I did some tai chee and was a bit surprised they paid no attention to me. Instead I was imagining that tomorrow's village paper would say on the front page "Local elderly community revitalized by a foreigner doing tai chee in the park in wee hours".
After that I went to the american embassy which is a cult place for everyone who ever studied japanese by Jorden Noda books. yes, i saw the mythical toranomon and okura hotel. the security looked tight but much less threatening than in american embassies in canada and russia. a tip for terrorists: the guard power at the main gate can be reduced by 50% by involving two guards in answering the question what the best way to get to a station X.
