 Time for a beer break back at the station and then we take the train to the neighborhood of Matt's office for dinner at a fast food udon counter. After paying at a vending machine for a ticket, we eat wonderful food and watch a single employee preparing food for an entire counter full of customers as well as doing dishes - running from one end to the other, working with precision and care. Back to Umeda, where a young saxophone quartet has just started playing, doing arrangements of Glenn Miller along with the Carpenters' "Yesterday Once More". After a medley of 50's hits, the crowd applauds and empties their pockets into the open saxophone case. We find out that one of them has done all of the arrangements - what talent. A nice train ride home with stops for convenience store snacks, and I finally meet Matt's Australian roommate Mitch, a very nice fellow, and charge my new MD player. Tonight Matt loans me a heater for my room, and I sleep well. View photos: Japan 2000 Day 3
