Got back to Tokyo from Sweden today. Arrived in the morning and got directly back to the office for a few meetings. At 3:30 pm I was so tired I went home.
In the evening Chie and I had dinner at Yasaka. After a while a work colleague to Chie showed up with her husband and two kids (boy and girl). We had a good time eating and talking. The purpose for them was not to eat but to deliver some things they wanted to donate for Tohoku earthquake victims, it’s been added to an upcoming shipment here.
When we were in Tokorozawa we took the time to supply some pre-washed rice and water. The prices are one level lower in Tokorozawa compared to Tokyo so we get more for the money, which is good.
On our way back to Tokyo we stopped by Ishihara-san’s place to leave the rice and water there, until the next trip to the Tohoku area. You can find the details at the Tohoku Donation page.
Though we are on vacation our friends in Japan are not. Ichihara-san and her friends drove all the food and water we and many others have helped collect to the Tohoku area. You can find pictures and descriptions here (Japanese only).
I have also added a Tohoku Donation page where you can donate money for food and water that will go to the Tohoku area. The idea is that you should be able to follow your money from your pocket to exactly what they were used for and when.
