She says: It is so quiet in Tokyo. Almost eerily so. We are right now on the crowded 5:20 pm subway after an insanely busy day and you could, quite literally, hear a pin drop. I wish I had one to prove my point. We visited several different Tokyo neighborhoods today and it is remarkable how strikingly different each of them is, they each serve a function and the people within each neighborhood are dressed to fit their niches. It's unlike any other city I've seen...

She says:Oh, the sweet agony of a timed out Internet! I just spent forty minutes writing THE most brilliant blog post the world has ever seen, and, in a doomed race against time, the Tokyo hotel computer counted me down and I desperately jabbed at the save and publish button.

She says: Success! I got myself a protein packed breakfast, Matt continued his carb binge and we even got rid of the drat blasted bags for a while. One of the big pluses of this lounge: free lockers. I found a massage place and had a "double shot" massage. Matt sat and watched. The masseuse didn't believe me when I explained I like a lot of pressure and I have really tight muscles. At the end of the half hour chair massage, despite her best efforts, putting all ...
