I'm writing this in Tokyo at bedtime Saturday and it is not yet dawn Saturday morning back home! Our flights to San Francisco and then to Tokyo went smoothly, but somewhere in the process, we've leapt over a whole day; I assume we'll reclaim it on our return journey...
Not much to report, other than our safe arrival in Japan. Our modern hotel is in Tokyo's Ginza -- a central district of skyscrapers and bright lights. Cultural differences became evident as soon as we reached our room -- pajamas for our use were laid out on the bed, and the toilet has functions most Americans have never heard of.
We had a chance to meet the others in our Road Scholar group on the bus from the airport and at dinner tonight. There are 20 of us, and they seem to be a varied, interested, and interesting group, many of whom have traveled with Road Scholar before, while we're just freshmen!
We begin "doing" Japan in the morning, so tomorrow's post should contain more interesting observations. Time now, for me to get some sleep; my fingers are falling off the keyboard!
