Did some laundry today and watched Dune while I did some ironing. That movie is so good. In the afternoon I headed to Zara to pick up a new suit. My current suit is the same one I've had since high school and the style is more than a little out of date. Also wearing a suit everyday I work also influenced my decision. Should be good.
In the evening I met up with Eri in Ebisu. We went to Rue Favart which is a cozy three story cafe with a relaxed atmosphere, cool music, and good food. After that we walked around Ebisu for a bit and then headed to Shinjuku. We went to a place called the Mystery Bar, which was a izakaya style bar with a "Mysterious theme". The one in Shinjuku I guess isn't as good as the one in Ikebukuro so we left before we ordered anything.
After that we just felt like taking it easy so we headed to a Internet Cafe nearby and watched the movie "The Prestige". Internet cafes in Tokyo are pretty cool actually. They are relatively cheap with different payment systems based on the time you say, from 15 minutes to all night. Some of the places even have showers for the overnight customers. You get your own private booth with a TV, PS2, and a PC. Different places have different types of booths where you have a office style chair, sofa, or sit on the floor Japanese style. Most places have a big selection of free drinks and the one we went to also had free ice cream! They also have shelves of Manga making part of it look like a library and also PS2 games can be borrowed if you are really bored. There is a movie selection which rotates on a monthly basis and streams directly to the PC for viewing. The booths always have headphones so inside is relatively quite. After that we headed home.
