Greetings from Tokyo!
 

Hello all. It's been a whirlwind the past few days. What an amazing place this is. We've got a wedding today and head to Kyoto tomorrow for a quick 36 hour tour before heading back home on Tuesday.

We've eaten some amazing food (each meal is better than the last) and bought some great stuff. I've even seen an X5 on the streets of Tokyo, along with 2 Cayennes and 2 Touaregs, not to mention 3 new Miata in the hotel parking lot (yes, I got pics :) ). I'll post 'em when I get home and get over the jetlag, which is almost as brutal as the hot, humid weather we are enjoying here.

MD, I didn't get a chance to see Capt. Neff, but tell him the flight was smooth as butta! :thumbup:

Great to hear from you, RF!! Glad to hear that you're having a good time. Enjoy your "tour." Looking forward to seeing your pics! :thumbup:

Have fun, and a safe flight home.

Hey! Make sure to visit Yaki Habara for the latest in electronics. Seriously, especially for home theater components, what you will buy today is something that won't be on the North American market for another 5 years.

Back in 1994 I bought a Kenwood Allora sound system. It had Dolby Digital, and all that other fancy decoding. 500W total power with a 5.1 speaker setup. 6-CD changer, dual tape deck, equalizer and DSP module.

And this system from 1994, bought in Japan still lives today, never had a problem in its entire life. This is 11 years later.

RF: Glad all is well w/you on the NihonTour. I told ya 'bout the food!
It is an amazing country. Safe flight back to gaijin-land. BR,md

Ohayo Gozaimus!

Take a pic of the "sushi-go-round" for me! And whats the exchange rate there right now? When I lived there last year the best was 125 to the buck...It got down to 95..

Hows rainy season treating you?! Have a safe trip home!

Glad to hear you're having fun RF. I look forward to your report and pics when you get back.
