Almost There!

I'm on the Trans Kyushu Limited Express. This train is pretty old school... But airpline style directional AC!
I had the longest lay-over yet in Komagawa, a little over two hours. The second longest wait has been 10 minutes so this was a surprise. So I decided to try the street car and see if I could find the big department store in the city center. I always fuck up buses in Pittsburgh so I was a bit nervous about this one... But the driver saw my confusion and showed me how to get a ticket and ensured I was on the right one. A few minutes later and I was there.
I found the mens floor and started looking for some authentic Japanese jammies. While searching I spied a scale Alfa Romeo GTV, in the Burrberry's display area. I pulled out my camera phone and snapped a shot... When I realized I had the attendant's attention. Using my best Tarzan Japanese I think I indicated multiple Alfa Romoes. This got a big grin out of her.
I found some cool gear, but the largest size was only L in the style I liked. After some discussion with the clerk she led me to the booth to test fit them. They fit perfect, so that's one more item I can check off my list.
I'm hoping to be coherent enough to attend a friend's annual Pajammy Jammy-jam. I should be fun after 16 hours of travel and 13 time zone changes. At least I'll be stylin' All I need is the appropriate footwear.
