First Night in Tokyo
This will be a fairly short message, since we haven't done much except fly from Beijing to Tokyo. Ho hum ... if it's Wednesday, it must be Tokyo. ;-)We landed in rainy Tokyo early this afternoon -- the rain was the lead story on the 9PM news (I couldn't understand the Japanese, but I got the idea!). It took us over an hour to get from Narita airport to our hotel near downtown Tokyo. It's a very nice hotel by the way. The rooms are a little small, but it's very modern and clean, and it's nestled in a very quaint neighborhood full of noodle shops and sushi restaurants and coffee shops. A great location!
Tomorrow morning we take the subway to the offices of Pricewaterhouse Coopers. In the afternoon we will travel to Rikkyo University for a joint student seminar with the Rikkyo students. It should be very educational ... and it should be fun!
Friday is the day we travel to Mt. Fuji, where we hopefully will be able to see the famous mountain. The current rain worries me a little bit, but we'll hope the rain clears by then!
Tokyo is a great city, by the way: modern, clean, orderly, very polite. We should have a terrific time over the next few days. It's a great way to end the trip!
I'm HOPING to have some photos for my next message. Let's keep our fingers crossed!
