Back in Tokyo




We are back in Tokyo and back in meetings. Today I attended a two-hour Environment Education presentation that had almost nothing to do with the environment or education and then a two-hour presentation that reviewed Japanese education. During the presentation, I remembered that I forgot to share a cool picture with you. Here it is, it's from the Shellmound museum in Chiba. Any ideas as to what is in the bowl?

Tonight I decided to be brave and went to Shibuyu alone. I am finding that Japan is relatively safe and if I pay attention, I can figure out the streets (that aren't always labeled) and the subway (whose signs are often in Japanese). I wanted to go to Shibuyu to see the big intersection from Tokyo Drift. It is probably rated R and you shouldn't watch it until you are old enough, but if you have already seen it you know what intersection I am talking about. The one with all the people and the dinosaurs? Electronic ones of course. They didn't have the dinosaurs walking across the building tonight but I was impressed just the same. I also saw a rotating parking garage like in Tokyo Drift. It's not that great of movie, but has great shots of Tokyo.



Ok, that's it. We give presentations tomorrow so I need to get my beauty sleep. There are bags under my eyes. Big ones.

Hey, if you bring by that picture you took at the shell mounds, I'd love to look at it and see if I can figure out what it is! Maybe all of that schooling will do some good (maybe not)!

Ha ha, I wanna ask something too.
Have you learned any japanesse yet? I only know 1-10, and "Good Morning", "Good After noon" ,and "Good Night." Is it true that its a disgrace to say "good morning" after 10 a.m?
