I’m back from my stint in Tokyo.

Summary:

• Over 150 pairs of disposable chopsticks used (apparently from Chinese forests)
• Approx 120 bowls of rice consumed, but only 3 potatoes (this ratio would normally be inversed)
• One very sore head http://www.doherty.net.au/wpress/?p=375
• 2 Earthquakes
• Completed disaster training at the Bosai Kan (firefighting, escape from smoke filled building & earthquake simulator)
• Managed to down raw chicken sashimi
• Got lost on numerous occasions
• Caught the metro during peak hour (very, very squishy)

Photos from Japan can be found in the Gallery here
There are various sections: Niseko, Kyoto, Tokyo, Kamakura, Karuizawa, Hakone
