Turning Japanese

Just a quick konnichiwa to all of you. Sorry about the lame postings Ive been trying to do. Our hotel at Keio Plaza in Shinjuku has FREE internet access in the rooms. Unfortunately they failed to mention that they have a limited amount of ethernet VSDL modems. Doh!

Anyways, a quick recap...

Went to Los Angeles and Cheech and his wife took us out to Beverly Hills and Hollywood Hills. Great to see them again. As a pre-Japan warmup they took us out to Toji, a fantastic Shabu Shabu restaurant.

Afterwards we took our LONG flight to Japan (11 1/2 hours) and got to Tokyo at our hotel after another 1 1/2 hour drive to the hotel Keio Plaza. We were BOMBED since we chased the sun and had a straight 24 hours of daylight.

The next day we went to explore Harajuku to catch up on the latest in trends and then Shibuya to see the latest in electronic gadgetry.

Today we rolled out to Central Tokyo to see the Imperial Palace Gardens and now we actually found an Apple store in the Ginza district, the heart of western high fashion. Since we dont have internet access at our room we took the chance to reconnect (temporarily) with the western hemisphere check banks, email and such.

Anyways, we:re out for now so check you later!
