I wound up grabbing a quick bite at Burger King as a sort of “last chance” at U.S. When I landed at HNL though, I wanted breakfast, but most places I found are geared toward cocktails and so naturally aren’t open in the morning. I generally prefer red-eye flights so that I can make the most of my time on them-if I’m tired enough I can fall asleep anywhere, and then I don’t remember whether the flight is good or bad when I wake up and land. I took a red-eye flight out of Oakland International Airport, arriving at Honolulu International Airport the next morning. All in all I quite enjoyed my trip, and so this post will be decidedly less technical than usual as I document what I did during that week. I also wanted to meet with a friend in Tokyo whom I hadn’t seen since he moved there prior to the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. My planned purpose of the trip was to see if a market for second-hand Pippin gear exists and if so, if I could bring home any Pippin-related goodies, particularly hardware. Now that individual tourism has opened up a bit in Japan, I finally booked my visit for real, having never been before, and spent a week there. I had booked such a trip for April of 2020, but… nature had other plans. Knowing my penchant for retro gaming and vintage computing, for a few years now several friends of mine have recommended I visit Tokyo, Japan, specifically the Akihabara ward famous for its shops full of esoteric electronics.
