Gizmos for Clare

















Few quick ones, especially for Clare, because I know she likes a gadget at the moment!

Firstly, a watch that gives you train information. The Yamanote watch is supplied with up to date info on the Yamanote line (a bit like the circle). Trains ALWAYS run on time though so not really sure why you’d need one.

Next we have the car park under the Tokyo Hands store. Here is our lovely Audi which is about to go through what looks like a single garage door but is in fact a carosel. It will sit there and be moved up and down as people come and go. When we are ready, its number will be called and it will appear behind the doors. We’ll then use the turntable to get it out of the tiny entrance.

Finally, if you don’t make it home, get yourself one of these table top pillows. These are sold seriously for people to get 40 winks at the office which is extremely common. Sometimes working men don't make it home during the week.

  1. Love those gizmos and so enjoy learning a litle more about life in Tokyo. How great to have trains that always run on time and then, a desk pillow! I can't tell you how that would have improved my working life when I worked for 16 years in an office in London.

    Have a blessed Sunday Lizzie and come back soon:)
