To start, I&#8217;ve had a rash on my arm for a while now, so I decided to go to a doctor in Japan for the first time.  Dan helped me find a dermatologist, and I had my appointment Friday morning.<\/p>\n<p>It was the fastest and cheapest doctor&#8217;s appointment I&#8217;ve ever had.  I went in and did some paperwork, then waited maybe 10 minutes.  I was called into a room, and the doctor and I sat on opposite sides of a desk.  She asked me some quick questions, looked at my rash, asked more questions, prescribed an ointment, and sent me on my way.  I went to the front desk and paid about $22 and was out of there.  <\/p>\n<p>Since I didn&#8217;t have to work, I stopped at an H&#038;M on the way home.  I found a pair of sandals on their website and went to see if they carried them here in Japan.  I didn&#8217;t find the shoes, but I did pick up a cute pink sun dress!  As soon as we get some sunny weather, I&#8217;ll post pics.<\/p>\n<p>Later in the afternoon, I met Dan at the Tokyo Dome for my first baseball game in Japan!  We were there to cheer on the Yomiuri Giants, and Dan treated me to a new hot pink hat to show my spirit \ud83d\ude42<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/s26.photobucket.com\/albums\/c131\/pinkloo\/?action=view&amp;current=IMG_2386-1.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i26.photobucket.com\/albums\/c131\/pinkloo\/IMG_2386-1.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Photobucket\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We headed in and found our seats, and chatted.  It was so strange to be indoors for a baseball game!  I didn&#8217;t even realize the game started!  In Japan, baseball games don&#8217;t have announcers, so it&#8217;s pretty quiet.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/s26.photobucket.com\/albums\/c131\/pinkloo\/?action=view&amp;current=IMG_2377-1.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"90%\" src=\"http:\/\/i26.photobucket.com\/albums\/c131\/pinkloo\/IMG_2377-1.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Photobucket\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Want a beer?
