May 12 - final thoughts

My last full day in Japan.  It's was a long and tiring, albeit worthwhile trip.  I'm writing this in September as I neglected to finish up the site upon my return, and on reflection, it was a very good business trip, but it did affect me.  I haven't really had sushi since I got back, I no longer worry about eating fish eggs, and I wouldn't worry about much if another trip came up.  But it was definitely disorienting.

Here's some additional pix I took on those last few days:

This is outside the train station which is the last stop on the () line.


About a block from that station is a mosque, supposedly the largest in Tokyo.  It's quite new.
 
 

This is the platform at that station.  Some are tracks going back downtown, others are transfer tracks to the suburban train lines.  No Shinkansen trains here.


The last night the Tokyo Tower was wreathed in fog, so I took a bunch of pictures with different camera settings to see what I liked best.  Enjoy!

I've written earlier about the joys of Cup Noodle, that easy-to-make meal that I consumed mass quantities of when nothing else felt appealing.  One of the nice gentlemen from the office gave me this as a present, it's a custom package for one of their local baseball teams.  Very neat packaging, and there's one for each of the teams.  I don't know exactly what the thing was inside that had the logo printed on it, but it was very tasty!
