While Sooz was away
for a week's sailing in the Caribbean (see here),
Grant and I decided to
take a boys trip of our own. So we popped over to Tokyo for a few days
(as you do)! We had a great time. Below are a few snapshots for your
enjoyment.

![]() We flew on All Nippon Airways, here in Club class, courtesy of a colleague. Quite posh! |
![]() Our first order of business was to go to Akihabara, the electric city. |
![]() We ate sushi for almost every meal, even breakfast! It was tasty, affordable, and a fun experience. |
![]() Here's a closeup of one of Don's choices. Yummy! |
![]() Akihabara was so much fun, we returned in the evening (after a nap). |
![]() This is a pet store in Roppongi, and yes they had two Corgi puppies. The Japanese pups are as cute as the English versions. |
![]() Next morning, we experienced rush hour, Tokyo-style. They have people who are employed to cram you into the cars. It was a bit scary! |
![]() This is the Asakusa Kannon Temple, one of the oldest in Japan. |
![]() Running around the grounds of temple was- you guessed it- a Corgi! |
![]() We took a water taxi to Hama-rikyu Garden, an old Shogun's hunting ground preserved as a park right in the middle of the city. |
![]() The apple trees were blossoming everywhere, it was quite beautiful. |
![]() And no trip to Japan would be complete without a pilgrimage to the Apple Store in Ginza!! |
