My friend left Japan today and headed back home to Arizona. He and I agreed that this was definitely the vacation by which all future vacations will be measured. We had a great time seeing the sites, laughing at the little idiosyncracies of the Japanese people and Japanese society, seeing Yoko Ono, meeting and talking with Yoshindo Yoshihara, and being overseas for the first time in both our lives. This definitely was the vacation of a lifetime for both of us.
This is my last week here and after I recover from this cold which I have caught I hope to be out and about for most of the week. The cherry blossoms (sakura) are out so I need to get some pictures before they all fall off the trees. As well I would like to spend as much time as possible soaking up even more Tokyo life before returning home.
