kichijyoji

Here's a picture of us in the Tokyo. Miki (Katsu's wife), Koki, Taka, Xoie, Liona, Katsu, Anyssa and yours truly. We're in the city Kichijyoji. We experienced so much of the night life walking around the city. I really can't describe the sensations being right in the middle of this fabulous culture. The people are so terrific. Lots of store, food, cell phones, little bars in the little side streets. Sushi stands. So little time. I'm really looking foward to the bright lights of Shinjuku. That the scene most recognized as looking like Timesquare NY. We'll be visting soon.

We got in late last night after a huge sushi dinner in our own private upstars room in the city. The food was unbelievable. I eat lots of Japanese food in America, but never knew what the real thing would taste like!

I will write more later. Since we got in so late and the girls are having a hard time adjusting, and we're up early this morning packing for our 3 day trip to Kyoto and Nara. We're going to catch the "Bullet train" at 11am this morning, Sunday. If you read this when I post it you'll be reading it on Saturday around 4pm.

I'm not taking my computer on this short trip. We're packing light to be able to do a lot of site seeing. So, I'll post again when we return on Tuesday evening. So you can check on Monday.

Thanks for all the kind words in the email replies. We're thinking of all of you too.

I had time to put this last picture of all of us eating lunch together at Katsu's pad. This is everyone including Mr. Mastueda. I'm the one taking the picture.
