Final Musings on the Land of the Rising Sun

Well, after 9 days over in Japan, Les and I finally make it back home, which seems like we left an eternity ago. The fish is still alive, so that's always a good sign. Although it's nice to be back in Dublin, I can't help but miss the hectic and lively surroundings of the big, lit city. People don't dress in outlandish pink fairy-tale princess dresses or constantly bow, which is kind of a disappointment. However, I do appreciate that I have a car to drive again, and a decently sized bedroom so I can throw my clothes on the ground.

So far, jet lag hasn't been a problem so far, but the idea is to stay up as long as possible and force ourselves to get back into the right time zone. We dump out our spoils from the trip, and it turns out to be a pretty good catch. One of the best items, though, has to be the green-tea-flavored Kit Kats that is sure to be a hit with the coworkers and friends. Although ask quickly because I'm pretty sure they'll be all gone by the time you read this post. (I am kinda bummed I couldn't find the wasabi-flavored Kit Kats).

All in all, Tokyo was a great trip, and we'll post up pics soon. Unlike the Europe trip, we actually gained weight this time. Go figure.

  1. Wow, David - I don't know how your brain can recollect these last few days of your trip in all that detail. I'm sure it helped during test time! :-) Since I don't see any other comments, does that mean there is still a green-tea flavored Kit Kat for me?!?! Leslie, I call dibs!!
