Hello JPUG

It wasn't without minor issues (FinnAir pilots got ill, had to replace crew, hello 2 hour delay. Missed bus at the airport, hello to another 45 minutes. Turned out the hotel was big enough to have three separate receptions - naturally, I didn't go to the right one), I managed to meet up with Hiroshi Saito at my hotel. It wasn't even too late for a quick lunch with him before he had to leave.

Got some email done, and some final polishing on my slides. Now I just need to figure out what to say...

Had dinner and a beer at the skybar. The Tokyo skyline is really impressive at night - especially for someone who lives in a country that has extremely few highrisers. And yes, I forgot my camera. Maybe another day.

The jetlag is starting to take it's toll now - I need to head to bed. It's about 28 hours ago since I got up "this morning"...

Tomorrow's the big day. See you in the reception, Ishikawa-san :-)
