Arrived in 東京！

Haha, just kidding.  I haven't yet left.  This is just a photo from outside of a small, dubious sushi shop in the international terminal at SFO.  I did not eat there, just snapped a quick photo.

And now, I am waiting to board my EconomyPlus bulkhead seat on this behemoth of an airplane.

It has been ten years since I left Japan after living there for 3.5 years, and more than five years since my last visit.

I would be lying if I said that I am not more than a little bit excited about this trip.  

There is a lot going on back in SF, and there will be when I return and always.  

That said, this little six day get away should be a lot of fun, and I am really looking forward to seeing and experiencing Tokyo again.  I am sure that a lot has changed there as they are always building and developing the city.  Also, Japan is old-school, and a lot has undoubtedly stayed the same.

Here's to visiting some old haunts and new haunts, but probably no haunted houses (though I arrive on Halloween).  Nevertheless, there should be lots of fun and interesting things to report, and I shall do my best to keep record and report back to you guys.

Here we go...off to Tokyo!
