Ah, the nostalgia. Tokyo is beautiful this time of year because it is when the Cherry Blossom Festival happens and it's nice to see that families actually do sit under the trees and have picnics while the sakuras are in bloom! It didn't last long, though. Just like the ones in DC, the rain, wind, and cold blew it all away. Rivers, cars, sidewalks were covered in little blossoms. Anyway, did quite a bit of walking around Tokyo. A little too much, that I got lazy toward the end and just ate at local American food on base rather than walk 10-15 minutes off base. Yes, trains are very convenient in Japan, but they can be a ways away sometimes. Hopefully we'll be back there soon. There's just so much to see, so much to do! Will write more later. It's almost 1am. (not that that ever mattered, but people at work are starting to notice when I get in late :) )

Hey! I saw the Taisei Hospital! A hospital dedicated to Taisei. You'd better not mess with him I guess. I think he and his buddies should be entitled to free insurance there. And the huge dollar store! Holy smokes! 5 stories worth of cheap Japanese goodies (all made in China of course).
Hey! I just noticed Taisei also has a construction company over there too. Uh oh, I hope Taisei's not the next Joe: Joe's Crab Shack, or Trader Joes, Sloppy Joe ...
