At a restaurant called "Bubba Gump Shrimp Co." in Tokyo, November 3, 2009.

By this time, I was having a bad hair day as I had just taken a ride on a rollercoaster called Thunder Dolphin at Korakuen Amusement Park which was quite thrilling!
(The roller coster drops 80m at 130km/h at an 80-degree angle....  That's insane!!)
