Time to go home! Georgianne hitches a ride from Colleen.
We stopover in Tokyo on the way back to the States. SARS masks are everywhere at the passport stamping station. We decide to take a train into Tokyo.
You can buy your own mask from the local train station kiosk.
Other items at the station kiosk. Hard boiled eggs anyone? Cake, Japanese style.
The Japanese are very practical people... if you need to go to the toilet and you don't want people to HEARyou doing your thing... You press this button on the wall which triggers a flushing sound.
