So I arrived in Japan around 4:00pm off my Northwestern flight. We hung around till about 5:30 when we hopped on the bus to Chiba. I Chiba we got a taxi to our hotel which is about 20 minutes from the Tokyo Auto Salon. We didn’t get to see/do much because most of the guys from Exedy were dieing due to jetlag and the fact that it was the wee hours of the morning back at home in Detroit. I took this from our taxi cab in Chiba, 711 in Japan!

and our taxi cab in Chiba.

For diner we ate at a local steakhouse that served beef from Australia. It was very good, I had the “thick steak.” They also served glass Coca-Cola! I went for a little stroll with Mr. Uno and our hotel happens to be right by a Honda dealership. This Honda Integra Type R was sitting right outside on the front lot. It’s list price was right around $2,000,000 yen. What a deal….I wish I could buy one of these in the states.

This is in our elevator, I think I might visit the public bath in the morning? Haha, I hope that is a swimming pool…..

Last but not least is myself sitting at my miniature desk in my hotel room. I went to the mart and scored some excellent Coca Cola products and this orange candy. No idea what it is but it tastes really good. More from me tomorrow, as we are going to the Tokyo Auto Salon! I cannot wait.
