I’m in the middle of deleting about 80-90 pages of trackback spam.
It’s funny, though. The whole point of trackbacks is to provide a simple way to automate sites linking back to sites which link to them. But as soon as you make this automatic it makes spamming the site really easy.
I wonder if people will eventually come up with a way around that.

It was Sunday, and I had a free day which wasn’t initially planned. The weather was good, so I knew that I had to visit the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building, and get some photos of the surrounding skyscrapers from up there. After that, I knew I would be going to a park, but I decided to make the decision of which park, dependent on which platform of the Yamanote Line I happened to find first. (LOL)

On waking up I was able to appreciate the Hotel Grand Palace, it’s quite a good place. Shame the only reason I got to see it was due to an emergency booking, and also a shame that I only got a couple of hours of waking time in the hotel.
I was up early, making calls to book for another hotel.

Ah, day fourteen… the end of the trip.
Or was it?

(Finally, some time for more catch-up.)
Day thirteen was my last full day in Tokyo. As there were a number of things people had requested me to find that I hadn’t found yet, I decided to devote the middle of the day to one last shopping spree, as the evening was already covered by a booking to go see a play at the Kabuki theatre.

As Tokyo was starting to become expensive (in terms of shopping anyway, and other things) I booked two days worth of tours further away from the city to fill larger quantities of time without spending too much money.

I know I haven’t posted all the holiday entries yet but I thought I’d mention (for those of you who might be wondering) that I’m back in Sydney as of Tuesday morning. I was supposed to be back Saturday morning but there were a few fun issues getting home which I’ve already written up in entries which need further checking and editing.
The remaining holiday entries will probably be finished at a rate of one per day until I reach the group of more recent ones which have already been written or until the weekend is reached, whichever comes first. And once I finally have those out of the way, I can start looking at the photos.

On day ten I had planned to go to Shinjuku to check out the observatory of the Metropolitan Government Building. But visibility was poor, and indeed it rained again.
I did manage to book the rest of the week’s tours, though. [Note: turned out that the weather wasn’t actually so bad on the days when I actually had to leave the metropolis. Lucky.]

I originally had more plans for the weekend, but it turned out being much more quiet than I’d originally planned.

On day seven, most of the americans returned home, while some stayed in the hotel. However, I had opted to stay in a different hotel which had a somewhat better reputation.
