"Wassup?" from Japan. Things are going well here. Listening to the NHL All Star Game online right now, waiting for lunch to roll around because I skipped breakfast - woke up late.

--- time passes ---

Ok, let me backtrack to since the last post.

Monday:
Work was fine, and in fact was good all 3 days (today being Wednesday), so I won't bother talking about work too
much. Lunch was sushi -- 12 pieces for 1000yen (~$10cad), which is quite a deal here. Dinner was teppanyaki, which seemed expensive, but I never saw the bill. After dinner, I just walked around a bit, checked out some camera prices and went back to my hotel to rest. Nothing worth writing about.

Tuesday:
Lunch was tempura at a franchise restaurant. Fairly simple, but still good. After work, my coworkers and I went to Kawasaki just for kicks. Went to a large shopping complex where they had a massive Bic Camera store. I didn't stay long in Bic Camera, but ran off to Zara next door and bought an undershirt. Then we had dinner at a very nice restaurant within the complex that had a sign "RR". Anyway, my guess is that our meals cost $60 US or more. They had a live xylophone + clarinet duo performance while we ate. A key to better business, go with Sales people if you can. We were a group of 8, and 6 of them were either Sales people or senior people in our company and distributor's company.

Wednesday:

Went to the Shin Yokohama Raumen Museum for lunch. Then we went to Yokohama to the Pacifico Yokohama to set up for our conference/exhibition tomorrow. After setting up, we finished for the day early (5:00pm), and I went of on my own to visit some Yokohama sights. After 2 hours of walking about, I hit up the Yokohama Curry Museum. This was the first meal I paid for since Sunday, which is pretty much as I had planned. I was hoping other people would pay for my meals throughout my work week. Tee. Tired as I was, I fell asleep on the subway back. But I think it was worth the trouble, because the nap was great.

Ok, time to shower up, watch a short movie, and get to sleep.

Signing off.

Oh, but first, a few more impressions:

- If you like seeing legs, there are lots of them here. Mini-skirts galore even though it's cold. But if you keep looking, you'll feel like a pervert because they're mostly high school students (I think).
- My coworker has rancid breath. Maybe caused by his smoking. It's absolutely unbearable. I haven't smelt anything like it... since the last time he was in Taiwan.
- Yokohama has a pretty cool skyline, headlined by the Landmark Hotel.
