Imperial Hotel Tokyo Chiyoda

... a few of them on the corner outright hide their faces from me, which was disappointing. Why are you out dressed like that if you don`t want your pictures taken, girls?<br><br>By the way, on a side note, every time that people pass out flyers, I take them out of guilt, much to Sean`s frustration. My purse is full of them. I reason that we may one day be lost and not have enough money and need a discount to get food so that we don`t starve ...

Prvy tyzden pobytu v Japonsku sa podla ocakavania odohraval v znameni prehliadok institutu, zoznamovani sa s laborkou, obiehania roznych uradov a vybavovani potvrdeni a inych dokumentov.
