Today was filled with presentations by a number of officials, all in the hotel. Since it was raining hard this morning, that worked out well. In between times, I have been recruiting a group to go to Kyoto on Saturday, our one free day in Tokyo. We have to catch the bullet train at Tokyo station at 6:00 AM for the two hour ride to Kyoto. We spend the day there, seeing as much as we can, and then come back late on the bullet train.
After we finished our obligations today, I walked around the neighborhood with some of the other teachers. We're in a neighborhood of restaurants and banks and odd little stores. We did find our first 100 Yen store, but it wasn't very big.
We discovered you can get ice cream here, but it comes in interesting flavors like green tea, lavender, wasabi, adzuki bean, as well as the basic flavors.
