October 20th
Fifth day moving my micro office.

Today's weather is really bad, but as the wind is not
that strong I decide for Sumida river to be the place for my office.

I was glad to have Daniela accompanying me. To take pictures ... |

to help pulling my office ...

... and to make my micro office less lonely. |

We find a really nice place under the bridge, or to be
more precise, under the Tokyo Expressway. It is directly at the Sumida
river and has the big advantage of being dry, even in rainy weather.

For this and for other reasons the homeless build their houses there. As most of you know Japanese homeless built quite neat houses, mostly using a cheap blue sheet, and that's why they are usually referred to as the "blue sheet" people. | |

The homeless at Sumida river have quite well working communities, and if someone like me comes there, news spreads fast. Soon I had a bunch of guests with me who didn't know much about Internet and digicams. I tried my best to explain what I'm doing, and they showed quite some interest for the latest technological inventions. They were really kind to me and offered me Sake and biscuits. I felt a bit ashamed that I didn't have anything to offer in exchange. |
