Tokyo

Well I arrived safely - it was a good flight. Left 7pm London time, arrived 4pm the next day Tokyo time. Meant I could do a bit of reading in to the deal I'm working on and still have time to watch a few films and get some sleep (12 hour flight). Got in early, through customs etc very quickly and then took the Narita Express train into Tokyo. The airport is 70km away so it takes an hour or so, so I put on my iPod and had a doze.

It was absolutely bucketing down with rain - worse so than in London. I got a taxi from Tokyo station and it was about 15 minutes or so to the serviced apartment I am staying in. I have taken a few photos of the apartment but I will have to find an internet cafe at some point to upload them. Restricted access at the office.

The apartment is nice - kitchen, living area, double bedroom, hi-tech electronic toilet, talking bathtub etc and it's only 10 mins walk from the office (something that looks like it will be vital given the busyness on this deal.

Office itself is nice - although mainly open plan. It's on the 34th floor of a building just east of Roppongi.

Anyway, hopefully will take some photos and be able to upload them - I'm looking to borrow a laptop next week from the office and I have a net connection in the flat, so I will then hopefully be able to upload stuff.
