Tokyo Dome Hotel, Bar 2000. Tokyo, Japan.
You think we would have learned by now … everything around the Tokyo Dome closes at 10:00pm. We got back from the office right before 10:00pm. By the time we dropped our bags inthe room, the restaurants had shut down. Our only [...]

ANA Boeing 747, Somewhere over Japan.
It’s been a very busy day. I think the only modes of transportation I’ve not utilized today are horse, rickshaw and bicycle. Mike and I left the hotel at 6:45 this morning. Since then we’ve traveled from one side of the island to [...]

Sony Metreon. San Francisco, California.
The party is officially over. The Metreon shutdown the arcade games promptly at 10:30, giving us our cue to exit. The PortalOne arcade was great, with lots of high-end games. HyperBowl is one of the most bizarre, allowing contestants to bowl across giant forests [...]
