Japan Day 1
Friday, November 13, 2009I've been to Japan a couple of times, but the primary objective was always to work! I finally had the chance to tour Japan at a leisurely pace with Grace this time. We also managed to catch up with some of our Japanese friends in Tokyo and Kyoto.
Coincidentally, some of our Singaporean friends happened to be there too! In fact, a group of them stayed at the same hotel as us. :)
I usually stay in the Shiodome area for work, but we decided to put up at Citadines Shinjuku during our stay in Tokyo.
Nonetheless, I must say we enjoyed our stay in Citadines. The hotel concierge spoke perfect English and it was a breeze communicating with them.
After arriving at the hotel at about 8 p.m., we met Grace's friend who happened to be in town for work. We had a fabulous catch up session accompanied by scrumptious food and ice cold beer at Ginza.

Both Satoshi and Moo Hee had to be at work the next day, even when it was a Sunday!! They really bring the corporate philosophy "work hard, play hard" to an all new level.
Although they were obviously exhausted, these sweet chaps brought us to a ramen place for early breakfast as our stomachs were growling after all the action. The ramen and gyoza were so delicious that we hardly took any photos!
