This sensation is so very odd - Tuesday i went to the passport office to get an expedited passport, and today Apple bought me a set of tickets to Japan. I'm heading out on the 6th (yes, a week and a half from now) for a blitzkreig business trip. We'll be on the ground in Tokyo for just under 2 days, and after we leave Japan on Wednesday at 5pm, i'll arrive back in San Jose at 10am the same morning in time for another day of work.

It all feels so sudden and cosmopolitan and jetset and ...important. And yet, i don't feel at all cosmopolitan and jetset and important.

So, if you had one evening to yourself in Tokyo, and were staying in Shinjuku, what would you do?
