End of Story

Tuesday night:
I decided that this would become a vacation and attempted to make it into one. Took several hours walk and found where I stayed before.
Stumbled across several Pachinko parlors that just had hundreds and hundreds of these machines.
I found a cool pet shop with puppies and kittens costing $1,500 ~ $2,500 USD.
I found a great noodle shop and got a front row seat next to the cooking area. Real dirty looking kitchen but oh so good.

Wednesday:
Made it to the office and dropped off paperwork. Spoke Korean to the Japanese workers.
Was able to contact friends and co-workers in Korea informing them of change of plans.
Changed my airplane tickets and found an easy way to the airport.
Got some bubble tea from Quickly Tea Shop. Now I've been to their shops in the US, Korea, Taiwan, and Japan.
Found "Rough Cut" DVDs for sale with big signs up :) So glad to see that. Wrote down some movies I would like to research.

Thursday:
Couldn't sleep. I got upwards of three hours total last night. Too much green tea?
Went to visa office to pick up passport with new visa.
Listened to a bunch of Jpop and Jrock and wandered around the city more.
Found a traditional market, temples, elementary school, post office, and just here and there.
Ate at Lotteria and studied last years' Korean notes for a few hours.
Made it to the airport, slept on the bench for 20 minutes, made the flight back, got back home around 9pm and went to sleep an hour later.
