And I'm off to Tokyo again...

Last leg of the journey, well not counting flying back to Finland of course. 3 Nights in Tokyo in Ueno at a Hotel, means I can get to both the Keisei Skyliner for the airport ride, and onto Yamanote and both Hibiya and Ginza subway lines. Great positioning so to speak. Just 560 km or about 3 hours with the train till I'm there, assuming the Hikari Shinkansen has some free seats. Else I might have to chill for half or even a full hour at the Osaka Shinkansen station before I head out. I think I've praised shinkansen trains enough already but they indeed are really really great, I wish Finland had one, from like Kirkkonummi to Helsinki. Then I'd get to work in 10 minutes instead of the 40 that it now takes....

Ah yes, it's still raining here, although atleast yesterday weather forecast said we'd get sunshine and better weather till tuesday, so there's still hope for some nice shooting weather later today. Obviously since it's sunday I shall head out to Harajuku for a final look at the weirdest street corner and meeting place in Tokyo... After that the swedes should have arrived and we'll prolly have something planned with Nano and his mates from Stockholm. Should be cool. Alas, not much else to say, Osaka as a whole was somewhat of a dissapointment, could have moved a couple of the Osaka days to Hiroshima for example and it'd prolly been better, however Nails and some other people seem to dig Osaka so perhaps there's something that just didn't appeal to me that might appeal to other people. If you're bored and rich you could obviously head out here yourself and check it out, there's the IAAF World championships this year in Osaka for example, if you want somekind of excuse to coming here.
