tokyo is a big weird ocean of cement, lights and people with unique style. the population of 25 million is close to that of entire canada! we arrived last night at around 8 after a 24-hour trip, so slightly exhausted. we walked through the hotel's surrounding area and ended up at a japanese bar for dinner. very yummy and fun, with excellent japanese draft beer. although saying goodbye was very sad, i am happy to finally be here and am looking forward to meeting the okinawa crowd later today at our prefectural meetings. i miss everyone and hope you all are well and happy!... xx julia
