Apparently he just walked off when the boat docked.
That’s the Ebisubashi bridge (Nampabashi/Hikkakebashi) under the famous Glico neon sign, where I spent approximately 0.004% of my total time in Japan. If I remember correctly, that was just enough time for me or my friends to throw someone else off that bridge… Was it me? I was pretty OK at drunk judo… Was it Dave? Was it on TV? For the life of me, I can’t even remember the name of the guy we threw off… I remember he was a real ass, though.
Fun times. But who the hell is Heisei?
The former emperor who abdicated this week.
Ah. I didn’t realize that Heisei = Akihito. Silly me.
So did the guy jump to celebrate Heisei’s reign, or to thank him for finally abdicating?
