{insert usual travel rant here]
Made it to Tokyo. Lots of street security (G8 meeting is happening to the north). Hotel gym is demented. Has one of those butt-shaker strap machines like the Jetson’s used. No weights. No erg. Brought my jump rope. Just punished myself for 14 hours of limbo and feel good about it.
Two, not one, but two crying babies adjacent to me. So no sleep, or what sleep occurred was nightmarish.
Other than that — this time yesterday I was sitting in my mom’s backyard eating ribs, now I am in Japan thinking noodles.
Cellphone does not work. So this will be a Skypish trip when I can get connected.
no snack pubs yet. have wonderful trip.
