I think the date is right. It’s too late to try to confirm it. We left at 7:00 this morning traveled three hours one way today on a bullet train to Osaka for an appointment. I believe Osaka is 300 miles one way. We just returned to the hotel and it’s close to 10:00 p.m. We were once again treated to lunch at the businessman’s favorite restaurant. Truly amazing hosts! Made it easier to have chips and an orange juice on the train for dinner.
As I was looking out the train window it is truly an amazing country. The mountains, the sea, the farmland, and the cities are something to see. The transit system here is to be envied. You can go anywhere by train or subway.
That’s all for tonight. We have a breakfast meeting at 7:30 in the morning with the Minister-Counselor for Commercial Affairs, U.S. Embassy and then travel by bullet train to Odawara for a meeting and dinner.
Larry knows how to get our money’s worth!! Terry and I are kidding him at this point of the trip asking if we can’t possibly squeeze in another appointment. It must be jetlag!!
One more thing, I was going to upload pictures on this blog but still working on getting that done. Technological difficulties!
