So, as I could have probably guessed, my neatly compartmentalised flight schedule didn't exactly work out. I didn't sleep a wink, the film selection was poor (and on a loop rather than on demand) and the lack of lighting for about 3/4 of the time made working or reading pretty tough. Ah well, the glamour of international travel...
Things looked up though on landing at Tokyo Narita airport and on first impressions Japan is living up to the high expectations I had for it. It is spotlessly clean, incredibly ordered and efficient and the people are gentle and very hospitable.
I managed to find my way from the hotel to the office on the subway without getting (too) lost... and on the way back to the hotel - this time in a car with one of my colleagues - I was able to get a glimpse of what downtown Tokyo might have in store for me when I finally get a chance to explore next Monday.
My current focus, however, is on staying awake for another two hours in order to try and get back on an even keel. I've been awake for 28 hours so far... but I reckon trying to figure out how the toilet in my room works could be just what I need to fill another two... it's already taken me 15 minutes to find the flush button!
Tomorrow is a day of meetings and rehearsals but I'm sure there will still be a tale to tell. 'Til then!
