... us, seemed to question why we were there. There was a food court downstairs and that was all we cared about, really. Sean was put off by the pictures and displays, reacting with disgust. The food didn`t look too terribly pleasant, but they seemed to have spaghetti. We have had a pretty steady diet of pasta since we got here, so why not continue on that path? Unfortunately upon entering it seemed that spaghetti was not on the menu. We ...

... mestoille. Ei se nyt suoraan sanottuna vieläkään ihan kivuttomasti mennyt, mutta paremin silti kuin aiempina vuosina :-) Tuomo jäi hotellille vetämään happea, koska hiukan vatsavaivoja alkoi pukkaamaan näin heti reissun alkuun. No on se aika shokki pamahtaa yhtäkkiä Suomesta keskelle Tokiota ja hirmu pitkä päiväkin ollut tässä, mutta eiköhän tuosta muutamalla kupilla vihreää teetä ja hetken levolla taas nousta. Vihreä tee on muuten oikea ...

... our way to a district of Tokyo called Den-enchofu. A friend that I met at the MBA plenary session that I attended in London, England back in June knew that we were travelling to Japan and graciously invited us to have supper and a visit with her, her mother and some friends at her mother's home in Den-enchofu.

... up and asked if he could help. He took our map, turned it this way and that and after a few minutes he pointed to the right, held up two fingers and said, "Miyuki Beads". Two fingers meant two blocks but we didn't know that then. We said our arigato's and stepped into the convenience store we'd been standing in front of to get some water. We came out, started walking toward where he pointed and whaddayaknow! There in the second block from the convenience ...

... la lune!!! comment ca pour le moment je vous slu de la Lune et je me dedie a` la recherche d`un endroit ou se caler sur la lune. A` bien tot. jovanni` English Hi there, hallo to everybody!!! We are finally in Japan. WOW!!! Here it sems to be on the moon. I think that all this sensation comes from the fact that we arrive from two mounths China...so near and so different. So we travelled a lot in a cheap unconfortable way to come here ...

... and didn't drag at all, gotta hand it to Ric************ he knows how to take care of his customers. You had about 30 films and programs to choose from so watched five episodes of peep show and a few films. The one thing I was dreading was the landing and was expecting the same agonising pain in my ears like a bomb had been let off inside my head which I had when the plane landed coming back from Malia. But it was completely pain free which was just aswell because I ...

... interesting to watch. Lots of activity, men walking around in boots, constant motion of carts coming in and going out. In fact, this is only part of the fish market. There is a much larger section that is stalls selling fish, eels, crabs, clams, urchins, octopus, etc. There is such a buzz of activity, it's hard to believe that it isn't even 6am yet. We walk around looking at the fish and shellfish for sale. We see some beautiful tuna steaks that have obviously ...
