I'm packed and ready to leave (after a night's sleep, that is). It was a great trip - got a lot done, met a lot of users, and hookd up with the local Cincom staff (a great bunch!). Kuroda took me around a few parts of Tokyo today - the district where they sell electronics is amazing - as is the one selling cookware. Then we visited an old temple - I got some pictures of that, I'll post them when they get developed. Then it was off to the Ginza area for dinner. Shabu Shabu beef is interesting - you get served a big plate of raw, thinly sliced beef. There are condiments at the table, and a bowl of boiling water in front of you. In goes the meat, then out again in seconds - mix with the condiments and eat. Very good, and I managed it all with chopsticks (not one of my skills). I bought a few knick knacks to take back home - and I'm looking forward to my next visit here.
