It’s 7:20PM local time. We are settling into our room at the Asakusa View hotel in Tokyo. We were escorted to our room by an unusually talkative bellhop who went on engagingly about the new Sky Tree tower which is half-built and visible from our room (pictures forthcoming; it’s dark now). He asked where we were from, and then asked whether Colorado was near Ohio, and hence whether we had many taifun. After a brief rest to recover some semblance of our senses after the journey, which takes around 24 hours, we went to Life, a grocery store next to the hotel and brought back dinner in the form of various kinds of take-out food.
