Hato Tour

Yesterday I also went on a bus tour. Since Ross was working I went by myself. It wasn't much of a tour since my tour guide barely said anything about the city. Despite my mute tour guide I was happy to get to see the sites in the city including: Tokyo Tower, The Imperial Palace and Senso-ji Temple. After the 4 hour tour I met Ross at Gonpachi - a restaurant with great food!

The Subway

 Normally genius is not a word that I would use to describe myself but yesterday that all changed when I took the Tokyo subway by myself! Who knows how I did it but I did. Not only did I do it but I got where I needed to go - the AT office. After buying my subway ticket (an accomplishment on its own) I stood starring at the subway map and I realized that this was not the train that I took on Wednesday with Yumi, my guide. So I asked the "information officer" how to get to  get to Ebisu. Unfortunately he spoke as much English as I speak Japanese, which means none but he did point up. So I left the subway station and came across what looked like the train Yumi and I had taken the day before. So I bought another ticket, managed to find the right track (I guessed) and got to Ebisu on the JR line - another train. I know it doesn't sound like an incredible accomplishment but it was! This is no NY subway system - this thing is a monster!!!

Sake

After exploring yesterday I came back to the hotel and slept. Poor Ross had 4 more  hours of interviews to do at that point! After my nap I met him, Avijit and the people that brought us over here from a company called AT. We had what seemed like a 12 course dinner and  A LOT of sake, which I think is why my head is pounding right now. 

Here are some pics!

(Also there is a weird pic of a bunch of different buttons on a wall. This is for a toilet. Here in Japan they are very green. No need for toilet paper - this contraption does all the work!!!  I have to admit - I love it!)
