Well, last week I was in Tokyo! I flew out of Dulles airport on Saturday, November 1st and arrived Sunday, November 2nd. Fortunately, Monday was a national holiday there so I didn't have to work. One of my co-workers from our Japan office was kind enough to spend the day with me on Monday, showing me around town. We did a little shopping and just enjoyed the nice weather.

The rest of the week was pretty much business. The days start a little later and end a little later than what I've been accustomed to. For example, I usually start work between 7:30-8:30... but my Japan office typically starts after 9:00 and many people don't leave until after 7:00 p.m. ! ! ! One thing that I felt was pretty cool was that many people really don't need cars there. yes, plenty of people do have cars and drive regularly, but MANY more don't even need them because of how elaborate the Subway/train systems are there.

After a week away from my wife & son, I am happy to get back. I'm not feeling too great after all the travel so I am taking a couple days off to get rested.

Take care all!
