Tokyo Day one

Arrived at 8pm to the Keio plaza hotel in Tokyo, we skipped July 25th when we crossed the international date line, so we got here a July 26th. its been a very overwhelming process, there are 600 of us here from all over the world, most of these people are going all over Japan and I wont see most of them again. I spent last night enjoying my first Japanese meal, pork and noodles, and washed it down with two Japanese beers. I went to bed no problem, but woke up extremely early at 5 30 am. Went to use the hotel gym which sucked, thank god I brought p90x! I think I m the only tool here that brought a workout system with him. Oh well, I look like hulk hogan compared to everyone so its pretty awesome. My next two days are filled with conferences and other bullshit, then i leave for my home for the next year Akita, Japan specifically in Deisen city in a town called Omagari. I think I explained before but Akita is the prefecture like a state, Deisen is the city like Phoenix, and Omagari is the town like scottsdale. I am looking forward to going up there and getting to explore the area , falling into a routine,and starting work. The kids are actually on vacation till august 30th so I will hopefully use the time to plan lessons with my teacher or drink a lot. I hope to explore Tokyo tonight and by that I mean drink sake and sing karaoke.
