I was on NHK World!!

Oh my god Oh my god!

I’ve been waiting to be able to tell you guys this since before the New Year began!

It started with me waking up to go to work, I kissed Dan before I left the house & he woke up to say “Don’t forget to check your Facebook, NHK want you to be on their channel” I of course thought he must of just been having a dream.

Out of curiosity I checked anyway and didn’t find anything so assumed it must of definitely been a dream. Later in the day he sent me a screenshot of the message from them. It was on my photography page, not my personal one.

I’m sure you can imagine how I repled, So professional but ecstatic inside!

So, I hope you can go check it out!

It was aired on channel NHK World on the program called J-Trip which is a show about Japanese culture and informing people about different things Japan has to offer.  

Here is the link to the show I was on:

Tokyo Day 6

I did a bit better on the Oeda Toei line this morning, but I was again hampered by the lack of subtitles. I knew that if I went to stop 23, that would be Roppongi and it's only a short walk from there. I arrived late again, and met up with my friends to head back out to Asakusa for some souvenir shopping. They were headed to the Sumo wrestling in the afternoon, so we spent the morning browsing the stands at Nikimase Dori for some keepsakes. (I bought a plush samurai sword for my 8 month old grandson but don't tell him, it's a surprise). We had a bite to eat, and I parted ways with my friends. I was going to head over to the Skytree, but I decided to go back to the temple first to take some more pictures because it had been raining when I was there Sunday. I ended up spending hours walking around, taking photos and video (coming soon, really), and around 4:00 pm it started to rain again. So I bagged the Skytree idea and headed back to Higashi Shinjuku. I knew that this would be a long train ride and that it was getting on to rush hour when the trains are literally packed. I rode the Ginza line from Asakusa all the way to Shibuya, about 20 stops, then changed to the Fukotomi line from Shibuya to Higashi Shinjuku. No wrong turns! Gambatte! (Success!) After two days of almost constant walking and little sleep I was getting tired, so I decided to take a nap and see if the rain would stop before I went to dinner. The rain kept up though, and I didn't want to walk too far so... McDonald's to the rescue. What can I say? I go back to America tomorrow, might as well start re-acclimating. After a Big Mac setto, I decided to go walk despite the rain. I walked down Kabuki-cho a few blocks. Saw some interesting restaurants but none that made me regret my Micky D's. Went back to the room and watched a Japanese game show, that seemed to feature Pop stars playing silly physical challenge games and making jokes. I can only pick out a word or phrase here and there, so most of it was lost on me. Early to bed, have to be at Narita tomorrow and I don't know how I'm getting there yet. Banzai! Ja mata!

Tokyo Day 5

First thing on the agenda was to go up in the Tokyo Tower, which is a replica of the Eiffel tower. That was really cool and amazing views. There's a "Look Down" window, a window in the floor, and people love to walk across it. It's weird and some people have a hard time doing it because, well we don't normally step out into the void 30 stories up. A Japanese high schooler wanted to help my friend across because he was balking. He did and we all laughed and took pictures of standing on the window. Good times. Then day got off to an awkward note because I had to change hotels, leaving the luxurious Intercontinental and moving to the economy E-Hotel, across town. Since I have too much stuff to carry with all the crap I had to bring for work, I came by cab rather than the subway. I had the exact address from the reservation, and I gave that to the driver, but we still had a few false stops. Finally arrived and dropped off the bags, then my friends and I were going to Shinjuku to catch a 3 hour walking tour. We were doing the walking tour because my buddy felt bad that I am leaving before the Mt Fuji tour that he's going on, so he suggested I pick something else. I looked and it said something about old neighborhood and visiting shrines so I picked this one. That was a poor choice. There were two other people on the tour, a couple from Australia, and we all set off by subway. First stop on the tour was a 7Eleven, which the guide recommended for buying water for the long walk. Sadly, this was the best stop on the tour. We did visit a couple of closed shrines, and one open Shinto one where she instructed us on the procedure. Toss a coin into the box, clap hands twice, hands to prayer position, silently make a wish, bow, done. I felt like I was not really honoring the thousands of years of Shinto tradition, but I went along with it and requested a good and happy life for my grandson. Figure it can't hurt. The last stop on the tour was a coffee shop. Hydration is important on a walking tour, apparently. So that failure behind us we made plans to meet up later in Roppongi for dinner. I'm pretty good at navigating subways around the world so I wasn't expecting much trouble. The trouble began on the Oeda Toei line, which unlike the other lines we had been riding, didn't have handy English subtitles on the map. I can't read Kanji (yet) so this is a bit of a problem but after some wrong turns I arrived an hour late, still managed to meet up with my friends in that chaotic place and go to dinner at a cool tempura place. The owner told us he'd been there for 23 years. I ordered 2 bottles of sake, and a businessman at another table bought a third for us. He came over on his way out and asked whether we were from. The US. "Oh," he said "Red Sox, and Starbucks" which were apparently the best thing to come from the states in his opinion. We ended up drinking sake with the owner of the place taking pictures and having a good time. We had to leave there to go to the Spider, a big sculpture outside the Mori Art Museum to meet up with a friend of my friend's who is Japanese and lives in Tokyo. She took us up to the observation floor, 52 stories up. The thing about Tokyo is that it just goes on forever and you really get that feeling from up there. Great time hanging out there and having a drink on the Skydeck. Then we went for one more drink at a place my buddy had been before, a Brazilian place where he knew the owner. I bought us all a Caiparinha, and that put a big debt in my wallet! One drink then I had to rush, because the trains stop running at 1:00 am. Maybe I'll write about that train ride some time. Ja mata!

Tokyo Day 4

Day 4 began much like day 3, in the ballroom at 7:00 am. Delivering the show is the reason I'm in Japan after all.

And speaking of the show, it went very well. The clients are great and have high expectations, and I'm happy to report we exceeded them once again. They were so pleased in fact that they wanted to take us to dinner afterwards.

We met up in the lobby around 6:30 pm, after finishing our tiny portion of the tear down, and all headed out to find a hibachi style restaurant that the hotel had recommended. The walk took us to a new neighborhood that I hadn't previously explored, and it was really cool. (I will put up some pics, promise). One of the places that we passed was a Pufferfish Restaurant, that had live blowfish swimming around in big tanks in the window. Blowfish / pufferfish are called Fugu in Japan, all the same ugly fish. In fact Fugu means river pig.

For those who may not know, pufferfish is a delicacy in Japan and has been eaten here for centuries, but it must be very carefully prepared because this fish is highly poisonous. Here's a quick refresher course on what to do if you have a bad plate of pufferfish.

If you feel paralyzed after eating blowfish:

Bring up what you have eaten, and do so repeatedly by drinking a lot of cold water or warm water, sodium bicarbonate water, or salty water to empty the stomach.

Take a rest and see a doctor immediately.

<Doctor>

The physician washes the stomach and injects Ringer solution or glucose intravenously. Then, artificial breathing is conducted, and medicine to elevate blood pressure, and a respiratory stimulant are given as symptomatic treatment. source: http://shofu.pref.ishikawa.jp

Of course we all really wanted to have fugu for dinner, but sadly we'd already made arrangements for the hibachi place. Maybe next time.

So after only a couple wrong turns, we ended up at the very nice hibachi place. Unlike the one where we had eaten the night before in Roppongi, this place had fancy waiters come around and put these ridiculous cloth bibs on you. I had set my jacket on an empty seat, and a waiter even came over and put a bib over that.

The food was outstanding. It's weird because there were five of us and when you see the food come out, it really doesn't look like a lot by American standards, but you end up really full and satisfied. Of course a couple of biru and sake don't hurt either.

Speaking of sake, I have a bone to pick with the world for hiding cold sake from me for the last 52 years. What's up with that? That stuff's great! We had some of the smoothest most amazing sake at the hibachi place last night, I only wish I could have gotten the name of it.

We finished the night back at the hotel on the 36th floor, at the hotel bar. It has a very decent view of the Asakasa hills, but it's nothing like the towers that are in Shinjuku.

Speaking of Shinjuku, I'm checking out of my fancy hotel here in Asakasa in the morning and moving over there for my final two nights at a more economical spot, since I'm on my own ¥ yen at this point.

More later, and of course pics are on the way!

Ja mata!

Tokyo Day 3

All day long was spent in show mode, from 06:30 to 18:00 - 11.5 hours. The client doesn’t have their usual staff here so it’s been a bit less structured than normal but no issues so far.

Tonight we went to Roppongi Dori for dinner which is considered the “American” part of Tokyo, because so many American service personnel head there for R+R. It's littered with American places from Wendy’s to Fridays, however went to a Japanese hibachi restaurant and had a fantastic meal. I would tell you the name of the place but I can’t read Kanji so it’s a mystery to me too.

We made an expensive stop first though at a place that one of my compatriots rejected, a bit too late. We got beers for ¥500 each, ($5.00 American), but because we didn’t order food we got hit with a ¥1200 ($12.00) “table charge.” which was kind of funny because of the 8 tables in the place we had one, and someone else had one. It wasn’t like we were keeping paying customers from dining there.

But after that we ended up at the hibachi place and that was really good. Oishi!

Before we headed back to the Intercontinental Hotel we decided to grab one more drink, and one of the guys I’m with picked a Mexican themed restaurant / bar. I had a really hard time making the jump from Japan to Mexico, so I stuck with Suntory Malt’s, but the place was as Mexican as any I’ve seen in the states and most of the ones I’ve seen in Mexico.

Except for the Japanese bartender, (which in my experience, you don’t see much in US Mexican restaurants). I didn’t ever see any Japanese bartenders when I was in Mexico, but it’s been a few years, things may have changed.

He was super nice though, and had way better English than I have Japanese. We hung out for a bit and watched Manchester United play Swansea on TV in the English Premier League futbol. How does it get more international than that?

Back in my room now, and ready to call it a day.

Ja mata!
