It’s hot, it’s sunny and I’m on a pacific island and able to take a day off. The teacher who organised this week very kindly offered to let me crash another night and the plan was to do some sight seeing. Unfortunately the planes back to Tokyo tomorrow were all full. As were the ones this evening, which meant I had to leave at lunchtime Saturday. Oh well, it would have been nice. So it was back to Tokyo and this time Ueno as it was the only place I could find a hotel at such short notice. It’s a completely different mind set here, but it meant instead of a leisurely day by the beach, I did get a lot of work done, which I guess is better in the big picture of things.
