The city is quite clean, from the streets themselves to all vehicles, including the fuel trucks that are so horribly filthy in the USA. The Cherry Blossoms were absolutely beautiful both in the dailight and above their careully lit street lights, which pointed up into the trees! The architecture is quite interesting with many large buildings appearing to be quite modern and creative. The transportation system is quite efficient and the drivers very courteous. I contrast the motorcycle drivers, for instance with Sao Paolo and they actually appear to be concerned with their own safety here. I am at Narito airport and found the check-in, security and customs to be quite efficient. The United International Club is quite nice. People in general were most eager to please and serve, the food was good, the room was clean and modern. We did not meet at the hotel, but as I mentioned below, at the Abbott offices. My only dissapointment is that the Japanese seem to like to keep the room temperature at what seemed to me to be at least 75 degrees. Most signage and announcements seem to be both in Japanese and English, which was quite comforting.
Most comforting however, is that I will be home in my own county, in my own home, bed and with Lynn in about 16 hours.
This was posting number 50, and I hope you have enjoyed my journal about the last month. It has been fun creating this journal and appreciate your allowing me to share this experience with you in this medium.
Happy blogging and a blessed Easter to all of you.
