Well, I'm here. I had quite a surprise at the San Francisco airport while drinking my 6th espresso of the day. I ran into my friend Diane Fukuda there. She was on the same plane to Japan. I didn't expect to meet anyone from Jaffrey here! I stayed awake for the whole, interminable flight and we made it through customs and immigration. Jumped on a bus from Kansai, the trash island upon which the airport is built, to Kobe, where we are staying. The route took us along the coast road around the city of Osaka, Japan's second largest city and its industrial heart. It is one big ugly city!
We arrived at our hotel, the
Hotel Okura Kobe , The rooms are large and comfortable. My first stop was to check out the toilet. Yes, Japanese toilets are everything they promised.I am on the 21st floor with sweeping views of the harbor (when the fog clears).
