RE: Back Home
I was all about the dramamine to help me get acclamated fast and it was stright business until I hopped on the flight home... The trip itself was a little more tiring than I thought it would have been... non stop to tokyo airport and train my way into the city was the worst because I was so confused at what time it actually was.
I took naps to help in between meetings and ended up translating a meeting discussing the acquisition of another smaller medical company located in Fukuoka. I told them I was very familiar to Fukuoka so we rushed to the Nozomi Shinkansen (express bullet train) to fukuoka and met with the rep and the acting chaiman of their company, my colleagues were having issues with language so I became the go between and scored some major points with the men from the competing firm.
In the end, discussions let to real conversations that will possibly bring me back to Japan in about 2 or 3 weeks to follow up on them. I only took one picture the whole trip but I didnt turn the flash on and the picture blurred inside of the train.
Right now it is looking like my wife and I will possibly be moving back to Japan for a while from about November until everything is settled. And that was my weekend. How bout you all?

man it sounds like you were busy the whole time you were over there. i would love to take a trip over to tokyo just to see how it is over there. do you like it over there or would you rather be in the states?
