Quick Update
Currently sitting in Tokyo, getting ready for a busy day of meetings and what not. For such a technologically advanced place Japan has some serious issues. The place is known for it's bullet trains. Yet Narita Airport, nicely situated about 600 kilometres from Tokyo (number may be exaggerated due to extreme irritability) is only connected to Tokyo via slow train or slower bus. The plane arrived early. Landed at 8:45pm. I entered my hotel room at 12:15am. An hour for passport control. Final bus to my hotel had already gone, so had to take one to the centre of town and then catch a cab. Had no Yen. Luckily cabs take credit card. Made it all in one piece and only moderately tired. Plenty of other stuff to write about. JC's party on Saturday a massive success with the best HK day for weeks. Sister-in-law arrived safe and well on Saturday. If I get some more time I'll file fuller reports (conveniently broken down into seperate entries for your viewing pleasure). posted by Simon on 12.08.03 at 08:41 AM in the

3.5 hours isn't too bad! Did you taxi on the runway for 35 minutes from landing? I did the last time. posted by: shaky on 12.08.03 at 11:31 AM [permalink]3.5 hours isn't too bad!

It's the only country in the world where your phone won't work if you have a triple-band phone. And everyone accuses the Americans of trying to be different! posted by: Helen on 12.08.03 at 04:32 PM [permalink] |
