Tokyo Tom




I'm writing this on my iPhone on the 21st floor of our hotel in Ikebukuro. After a brief argument at reception, the hotel have provided Tom with a huge cot, in which we hope he will sleep as well as he did last night. His schedule is all to pot though, as we'll have to take him out to dinner with us. Still, he's perhaps more flexible than we give him credit for.

The journey up went quite well considering he was cooped up on the bullet train for 3 hours. The old lady sitting next to us took a real shine to Tom (surprise surprise), who let her hold him on her knee for a good 5 minutes. We endured a rather cramped 30 minutes on the Yamanote line in Tokyo, but the hotel is right next to the station and seems to be in an excellent area for eating and shopping. Off to charm my clients with the lad tomorrow...
