I am going to Tokyo for the weekend.
Actually for 4 days and 3 nights with overnight flights to get there and back again either side.
The reasons for my quick visit are top secret, keep an eye on new bulletins sometime Sunday.
Because I am leaving late Thursday and back again on Tuesday morning, I am going straight from my Sydney office to the airport.
This requires some careful planning and coordination, not least of which is to hack the work firewall to allow FTP uploads of what I am typing right now.
One challenge I have set myself for the 4 days, no photos of food. Too many people complained I just take boring food photos, so instead I will describe food textually in great detail and you get no photos. A picture is worth a thousand words, prepare yourself.
A rare photo indeed. Its me, at my desk, at work, pretending to work (not such a rare site for those that work here).
The view out of the office window. Its dissapointing, rather uninspiring sea front and small cheap looking boats.
The view out the other window has the Sydney harbour bridge and yet more boats. Seems to be quite a few fires threatening the city right now hence the smoky photo. Probably best I leave for earthquakes and radiation to escape imminent threat of bushfire.
