Not far from Tokyo is the old port city of Yokohama where we spent our last night in Japan. Despite its many attractions heavily influenced by foreigners, many of whom have now made their home here, we settled for a walk along its waterfront park and a long, restful night. Our thoughts were now on what lay before us in the Soviet Union where we were now heading. We would not experience a consumer society again for a long time, and the islands of Japan probably epitomise consumerism more than anywhere else.
Curiously we were interrogated by a zealous policeman on our last day, like we were on the day of our arrival. He took so long that I feared we would miss our ship.
