... ettei! Käydään vetämässä pienet Karaokesessiot Tokiossa ja tullaan sitten viimeisellä luotijunalla tuhannen örvelöissä takaisin Osakaan. :-) Toimii!

Suunnattiin siis ensimmäiseksi aamulla Shin-Osakan aseman lipputiskille varaamaan sunnuntaiksi meno-paluulippuja Tokioon. Hiukan nosti kylmää hikeä, että miten tästä varaushommasta Japaniksi oikein selviän, mutta ihan mainiosti meni. No problemos. Tai silleen oli kyllä problemos, että olin ihan sulaa vahaa taas n ...

... noin 10 minuuttia, eikä siinä ehtinyt kuin lyödä ahterinsa penkkiin ja avata teejuoman, niin oltiinkin jo perillä! Shin-Koben asemalta lähdettiin kävelemään (tietysti taas) kohti Kobe Lumierea ja löydettiinkin paikka parin kilometrin talsimisen jälkeen.

Ja kannatti kyllä kävellä, koska tosi komea oli tämä Lumiere ja aivan mielettömästi oli tullut ihmisiä sitä katsomaan. Valoista oli tehty ikään kuin kirkon seinät ja massiivista kirkkomusiikkia raikui ...

... for the day. Bridget, Eben and I ended up buying tickets to the sumo wrestling tournament down in Fukuoka the next day, a split second decision I will be forever grateful to have made. As a group, the result of all our pow-wowing was to yet again utilize our JR rail passes, and take the bullet train to Himeji to see the famous Himeji Castle. Of course, the train we got on to Himeji was the only train that our rail passes did not work on, as we soon found out when the ...

Good morning! Today is the last morning that I will wake up in a hotel room in Kobe, Japan, enjoying crisp fresh air with my sliding door wide open and the light hum of traffic sounds in the background. Yesterday the conference ended with a working session with those of us from Cleveland and some of our key agency partners from Europe, the U.S. and Japan. We talked a lot and came up with a specific task list of things to accomplish in the next 30 days, along with ideas ...

... food was tasty. It was heading towards 1pm and Michi had to go to a charity event in the afternoon and my train to Tokyo was calling. We were a little worried about the seat reservations for the 3 hr train ride as all the reserved cars were fully booked. My only option was to go to the platform and queue up outside one of the unreserved cars really early so that I could make sure I was first on the carriage to bag any spare seats. I was ...

... in Japan Cornflakes kauft dann in 200g Packungen - die kosten 200-300Yen(2Euro) und hab ich an einen morgen locker weggefuttert... Die Restaurants hingegen sind erstaunlich billig für umgerechnet 5 Euro bekommt man ein Komplettes Mittagessen inc. Getränken. Nach ein Paar Tagen Hotel bin ich dann in mein Apartment gezogen. Eigentlich ganz in Ordnung nur traditionell japanisch eingerichtet. Das heißt zum Beispiel es gibt hier keinen ...

... s not its main purpose, being under the lights does make it seem really Christmassy. Keiko and I had a really nice evening walking around the site. I think its almost certain that we will be back here again next year. I hope that you enjoy the photos. It's amazing to think that it is only a week away to Christmas! I hope that all your preparations for the holidays are going well!

... affected Japan's GDP in a 1 hr shopping spree. Among many of my new toys was Sony's latest ultraportable handhed VAIO computer and its accessories. Because my Japanese vocabulary was not up to date in the realm of computer technology, I did not want to leave it up to chance to not fully understand the store assistants. So I requested an English speaker. There were many who fluently spoke English. One girl was very helpful and helped me quickly make up my mind. Right ...

... popular attraction the Osaka-Jo granite castle. The current one is a reconstruction of the original and has a more modern feel once inside, where there is a museum. Later that day I headed to the Tempozan Area. The Osaka Aquarium is housed here so I decided to go in for a look. The Aquarium holds the ...
