Saturday I spent the afternoon relaxing at the beach. On the weekends they set up volleyball nets. There were about 4 or 5 nets set up with people playing. Out in the water were about 4 or 5 windsurfers although I don't know how much fun they could have been having. There usually aren't too many waves so they just kinda seem like they are hanging out on their boards.
One of the things about Odaiba is that it seems like every other person has a dog. The dogs in Japan are typically very small portable dogs.
Headed back home around 5:00 and hung out till about 7:00. We all headed out to a restaurant. After a really big meal we headed to the movie theater. Tonight there were a lot of boats in the harbor. They are mainly used for company outings and I guess there were a lot tonight.
At the theater were more examples of Japan cool stuff. Most of the theaters in Japan have assigned seating and you are able to buy beer along with your popcorn. Ticket cost ranges from $10-$18 so it can be pretty steep. The theater had a couple very cool light displays that moved around and the stairs were also lit in a way you can only find in Japan. The movie we saw was Pirates 3 which was in English with a Japanese subtitle, while subtitled films usually don't do well in theaters in the US, they are almost constantly in theaters here. One thing that you'll notice if you see a movie in Japan is that after the movie is over many people will sit and watch the credits and the lights don't go back on till a while after the credits start rolling.
