Around 12 pm EST/9 am EST I got my first live view of the Pacific Ocean and the unique geography of the San Francisco coastline. Had some nice taquitos at a mexican restaurant in the airport at 1pm EST/10am EST. After being moved to the emergency exit seats on my Boston to San Fran flight, I thought it would be smart to request an exit seat from San Fran to Japan. I lucked out and, once again, got an emergency exit seat for the 11 hour flight... apparently I look fit and able to assist in case of emergency... good thing they don't know I don't like to take orders! Sorry no pics up to this point... the airplanes are long narrow tubes with lots of seats and cramped people.
I finally arrived 3:20pm Friday Tokyo time/1:20am Friday EST. That was not the end of my travels, however. I met Ryuta (who will be my guide) and then took two trains and a taxi for another 3 hours. To say the least, I was very happy to arrive at my quarters (see below) for some much needed sleep.
Here's the bathroom. No shower curtain makes for a messy start to the day.
Walking into the guest quarters, I committed my first faux pa... I forgot to take my shoes off at the door ... oops! Then I turned up the heat (the heat hadn't been on and it was cold) and went to bed.
This morning I went to Denny's for breakfast... I'm not kidding. It's not your traditional American Denny's, but I was able to get eggs and bacon along with a strange side salad... wasn't feeling quite adventurous yet. Had some green tea... much different from yours dad. After having some more breakfast at Denny's I am in love with their french toast... a bit different from American french toast... maybe I can get the recipe.
