... New Hotel Otani which had advertised a Japanese Tea ceremony. A truly authentic tea ceremony is next to impossible to see, and not readily available for tourists. This was a &#8220;tea ceremony light&#8221; which gave us a taste of what it&#8217;s all about. Every movement by the hostess is carefully executed, each with a specific purpose. According to the literature provided, the tea ceremony has three unique features:<br><br>1. A strong feeling of ...

... with the Japanese translation requiring heavy concentration to hear the English in the background. All other stations were Japanese, with only Sports making any sense to us. Here at the Dai-Ichi Hotel, we actually have two (!!!) English stations, CNN International and BBC Worldwide News. Both hotels have delivered basic English newspapers to our rooms each morning, which is nice. Probably like at home, its mostly news of the H1N1 flu pandemic. We ...

... be there the day they serve those wonderful orange &amp; ricotta pancakes for breakfast. But, no matter what they serve you are certainly going to enjoy it! Victoria is a charming city, but somewhat sleepy by Tokyo standards. The shops &amp; restaurants seem to close up quite early and unless you go off onto some of the side streets - which I highly recommend - you will be hard pressed to find a decent place to eat dinner. Of course, if you are staying at The Andersen ...

... to hook up my television to the computer so I can get good images of the insanity. Otherwise, you might not believe me. Now the boy band has caught up and it's match point. I also wanted to mention that today's entry is the 34th in this travelogue, which now means I've at least caught up with my Eastern Europe travelogue for number of entries. After all, I spent five whole weeks in Eastern Europe, and I've only been in Japan for 19 months. The boy band won.

... there constantly and me and my friends are the coolest!!! Family Meal Time This one is quick. Basically, all my friends from the fifth insist on eating all meals together, kind of like a really awesome form of peer pressure. So we find the largest table or booth possible and squish in. The best seat is in the middle of the booth, because you can't get up, and you can make everyone else get dessert or coffee for you. We had a moment the other ...

... because it was a work night! The attorneys asked me if there was any food I did not like and I said no, and so they ordered the largest and priciest set meal for everyone at the table. We had a crab and avocado salad, a scallop and sea urchin souse, a delicious seared tuna course, an ENTIRE lobster for each of us, and kobe beef! Last was rice and great miso soup, tho no one was still hungry! My favorite part of the ...

Today I went with a large group to Odaiba, which is a man-made island in Tokyo Bay. Getting there requires a ride on the public monorail, a very fun and futuristic mode of transportation. The ride was absolutely beautiful! The views of the bay, all of the buildings and the incredible architecture, and being able to look back at sprawling Tokyo - just amazing! Once at Odaiba, we spent a lot of time walking around and looking at ...

... with the real Japanese food this morning and it tasted a lot better than McDonalds. It was probably the Japanese equivilant of a kebab shop back home but still I cant be fussy what Im having for breakfast. I walked in and up to the counter. Obviously none of the staff spoke English and i don't speak Japanese (yet) so I just stared blankly at them after they'd finished what must have been instructions telling me what to do, with a lot of pointing ...

... had one like Dance Dance Revolution Steph - which I think we should play as soon as I get back!) We`ve both been super impressed with Tokyo so far...?@everyone seems super nice and friendly and so eager to help us find places (we seem to be permanently lost here and street names are so confusing) Well times up on the internet so I`d better finish here.... Back home on the 10th, I`ll post more pics then.... Luv, Shen
