Nagoya

Been so busy haven't had time for this blogging business! Working all morning (Yamanashi want me to do three different presentations next week!) and then off to a meeting and then a dinner. Back late. These dinners in Japanese restaurants seems to last a long time! That's pretty much how the last few days have been.

Last night we were taken to the same tofu restaurant that I was taken to by Doshisha staff five years ago........... There weren't quite so many courses last night and it wasn't ALL tofu either!

Now I am in Nagoya, sitting in an "Excelsior Cafe" waiting for them to let me into my room. I arrived half an hour or so ago on the Shinkansen - I was on "Hikari". Amazing machines.

Today I have two meetings, one presentation and so far two dinners - haha. One of them will have to be sacrificed. Koryo students from a couple of years ago invited me to a German restaurant :) but then the staff and last year's students invited me out too last minute. Not sure yet how this will pan out. Jenny has gone off to Tokyo so that is the end of the joint CELT/IO bit of my visit.
