+We had a very intense day where we visited a lot of places all around central Tokyo:

+Seeing so many beautiful things at such a high frequency might make one's head spin.
+In fact, this evening I've been dangerously close to faint in an [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onsen | Onsen]],
+which was really scary because I had never lost consciousness before. I had walked all day with very little
+food and drink, which might have been part of the problem, but diving in thermal water for a long time has
+certainly triggered it. What a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaijin | gaijin]] who can't even take some
+hot water!
