Last full day in Japan

7月

27日

I am leaving Japan and flying back to Seattle tomorrow from Narita. Today is the last full day in Tokyo. I will be attending the 50th Anniversary Party for our biggest customer Otsuka Corporation. (http://www.otsuka-shokai.co.jp/english/)

My plan is to visit Akihabara (Electronic Town) to see what the latest electronics in Japan. It will be cloudy with 88F today. I cannot say it is comfortable because of high humidity. I can't wait to get back to Seattle.

This is a view from my hotel room.

No.1 Hotel in Japan

7月

25日

I am staying at IMPERIAL HOTEL in Japan. I believe this is No.1 hotel in Japan in my mind. Everything is expensive at this hotel. A bottle of water costs 945 yen ... that is over US$11.

So I was expecting to pay $20 or $30 a day for Internet. I was wrong. The internet access is FREE. This is the first city hotel of this caliber to offer Internet for FREE. I hope every other hotel will follow IMPERIAL HOTEL.

Studying Abroad

My daughter is starting her study in Berlin, Germany this summer and she is flying out today. I left my home when I was 18, so I can not really have any reason to sop her. I just wish her luck. See you in eighty some days.

Arrived in Japan

After 14 and half hours of traveling time, I have arrived in rainy Kansai/Osaka International Airport. I had about 2 hour layover at Icheon Airport in Korea. As usual, Asiana provided wonderful service arriving in Korea little early too.

I slept very well last night. It seems I have gotten over my lower back pain. It is still raining in Ashiya. I took this picture at Incheon Airport waiting for my boarding to start.

This year was the 100th anniversary of "FORCED ANNEXATION TREATY OF KOREA" by Japanese. Not too cool to be Japanese being in Korea.

The IATA issued a joint statement with the International Civil Aviation Organization on behalf of the International Atomic Energy Agency, International Maritime Organization, the World Health Organization and the World Meteorological Organization, on the continued safety of air transport operations in Japan. These organizations have assured us that there are no travel restrictions at Japan's major airports.
