Jeff in Japan

It's really hard to want to sit down and write a blog post when you're running around with guests and sleeping in between. So last week Jeff spent Tuesday to Thursday in Kyoto and Osaka. Quite an adventure for him finding his way around. With only a few mishaps like bad shoes to walk in and getting lost for 3 hours trying to find the train station in Osaka. We jam packed the rest of his stay in Tokyo from Friday-Sunday with the usual Roppongi nights of Milwaukee Bar, Feria, Heartland, A971 and ramen. On Friday we also went to the Absolut Ice Bar. Just like the ice hotel in Sweden everything was made of ice including the walls, sculptures and even the drinking glasses. They give you these capes to keep warm and you're only allowed to stay up to 45 minutes. We made it for about 30.

On Saturday we took Jeff out for his birthday at the Park Hyatt in Shinjuku famous for scenes in Lost in Translation. We had great steaks and even better views. We had a fun time at Muse afterwards. A sort of all purpose bar/club. They have bars, dance floors, pool tables, darts, and even karaoke all at the same place.

This week our friend Dave is in town. We're hitting up many of the same spots of course but I'll summarize his visit as well.

I need sleep. :)
