I didn’t get a great night of sleep in Okayama. There was a fight on the 8th floor, probably right below me. My mom and my sister didn’t hear a thing.

My mom left on the train at 8:12AM for my aunt’s and I won’t see her for another couple of weeks. She actually got to my aunt’s before we even left Okayama. We finally broke from eating the free hotel breakfasts and found “morning sets” instead.

We wandered around the train station for a while and got on the Shinkansen for Tokyo. More bentos for us!

The trip was pretty uneventful and we got to Tokyo around 4:20PM. I didn’t do all that much before meeting an old co-worker from my Mitsubishi days, Suzuki-san, for dinner. Not much to report other than the food was good and the tiny restaurant was filled with smoke. Ugh. I don’t miss second-hand cigarette smoke.
