Tokyo, JP

9:58 -- I'm in the Shinkensen again, but this time to Tokyo. When I booked my ticket, I asked for something cheap; so she gave me a non-reserved seat, which still cost YEN 12 300 ($100) for a 2.5hours journey. What I realized when I hoped on the train is that they sell more tickets than there's seats available. So you *might* have to stand up for all that time! Luckily a lot of people got off at Nagoya, so I got a seat. IMHO Y12 300 to stand up is pretty expensive!

Anyway, the lanscape is less attractive than on the way from Hakata - a lot of surburbs, small rice fields and factories.

14:54 -- I am finally in Nokia's office in Tokyo. I had trouble to make my way here, it's a bit tricky to get on the subway from Tokyo station.

As soon as I arrived, we went for lunch with Jan, and he kindly gave me tour of the Docomo headquarter hostesses (pretty impressive compared to Nokia!)

I am now working and fixing the website. It's been a mess lately, sorry about that. Everything should be working fine now. I have to continue, I'll catch up with you later.

04:34 -- Jan+(Shibuya+Roppongi)
