So I uploaded a few pictures from the trip to Tokyo. Nothing too much of consequence, but I didn’t leave the city so it’s mostly shots of the Imperial Palace and in and around Tokyo. By the end of the week, I could do the subways like the back of my hand. They’re so incredibly efficient that it really doesn’t make sense to travel any other way. Last week I mentioned that the subways were crowded, so allow me to illustrate this through an annecdote that my colleague in Japan mentioned. He said that periodically, there will be so many people on a subway car that the windows pop out under the pressure. You really have to see it to believe it!

Lastly, it was a interesting to work all day in Tokyo on Friday, and then leave from the airport Friday evening. Flying all night, I landed in Toronto on Friday slightly before I took off from Japan. Smile.
