May 17 – Tokyo

A rainy day in Tokyo but the weather promises to improve.  My 2 mile run through the Kayabacho district was wet but super fun …. I had a mind picture of doing the Tokyo 2010 Marathon.  Great to be in a big city environment again.

We will be holding a meeting this morning to organize for the day’s touring activities.  On the schedule is Hibiya Park, Ginza and the the Imperial Palace area, Asakusa (where a major festival is being held), and the Odaiba district.  More later …

Tokyo Sci-Fi!


I want to amend my earlier post about an “uneventful” journey.  On our arrival at Narita Airport in Japan we were greeted by a medical inspection team due to the current Swine Flu scare.  The Japanese our very concerned and take the threat seriously.  It was a minor inconvenience and added a touch of excitement for our students!

Japan – May 15-16

Our MBA trip from Bangor to Tokyo Japan was a long but uneventful journey — roughly 24 hours door-to-door.  We were greeted at out hotel by a very friendly staff and Fujikawa family members were also there to say hello.  A quiet dinner at a local restaurant and everyone turned in for a good night’s rest.
