I’m in and around Shibuya for a couple of weeks.  
My Nihong-go proficiency is less than my Ruby learnings.  
So I apologise for speaking English.  
If there are any readers interested in tech-niques.general.chat I look  
forward to coffee Shibuya\<-\>Roppongi…

How long will you be there? I reach Toyko on the 16th.

Of course, I’m just an American with weak Japanese skills and thus not  
at all interesting.

Hi James,  
Ruby-Kaigi next month around 16th.  
Sold out.  
Twice.  
If I’m still here I will be a satellite attendant.  
Coffee shops in the vicinity.

I visited the Mori Art Museum last night.

Then, downstairs there is:

Watching tributes to Micheal J on Tokyo TV this morning.  
Footage of his 1987 tour:

From recently released footage of business meetings he was keen to build  
a  
(wonderful) theme park here.

I enjoyed the laterality of your Beautify Code video.

Well, if you do hang around, look me up and say hello.

Thanks you very much.

Enjoy the rest of your stay in Japan!
