Satoshi's tour guide job turned out to be just leading the German group from the cruise ship to the bus and helping them check in to fly out from Haneda and then meeting the next group at Haneda and leading them to their bus going to the cruise ship

He said he didn't need to speak much German or English, which he said was a bit disappointing.

But he also said when he did have to speak, it made him nervous and double guess his language skills.

Live and learn moment...

At about noon, he emailed saying that he had time off until 16:30-ish, so he was coming home.

Since I hadn't had lunch yet, we went to have lunch at Columbia.

I ordered the meat sauce spaghetti...this came with a salad and coffee...850 yen (tax included).

The noodles were a bit overcooked for my liking, but I enjoyed the meat sauce's beefy flavor.

Satoshi had their wafu (Japanese style) hamburger, this came with a salad, a little napolitan and coffee...880 yen (tax included)

He said he enjoyed this.

We love that this place is no smoking.

I also enjoyed listening to three grandmas talking story.

We'll be back.

At 16:30, Satoshi went back to Haneda to meet his new group.

Their flight was delayed, so by the time he came home it was almost 22:00.

He said even though it was a bit tiring, it was a good experience.
