I also saw Godzilla coffee that I was half tempted to get as I assumed it had enough caffeine in it to recharge Godzilla or wake the dead (tired). 🙂

It’s not a book about our current future but it does seem spot on.

One of the nice little touches about Japanese airports if that they have the equivalent of a toddler high chair on the restrooms so you can do what you need to do without letting the kid crawl on the floor. And it's on the men's restrooms too!

Hiroshima is so excited about local boy made good saving the Dodgers that they are advertising his appearance at a local Carp game a month out at the local theater ($45 to go and it includes food if I understood correctly). #baseball

Currently in Japan and I wonder if Americans know just how badly and run down their infrastructure looks compared to other countries. I mean, the high speed trains have been running 40 years and look new, I haven't seen a pot hole the entire time I've been here and bikes are everywhere.

I think these photos make it clear where I am, but the hypocenter marker I found by accident taking a short cut to Peace Park was discreetly tucked in a corner. You would hardly know it was there (in fact I'd already walked past it 5 times before I noticed it).

Despite all the construction going on, I haven't seen a single pothole the entire time I've been here. Unlike in DC metro area where you can't go 5 ft without hitting one.
Plus most of the side walks are really for the bikes, so they have a great balance between public transport, walking & cars.

The lunch box, was pretty delicious and also I have no idea what I was eating (probably for the best) but the presentation is like something out of Iron Chef. Everything is carefully presented and made out of cardboard or paper so its easily recycled.

Rainy day in Hiroshima but I think we'll find something to do before the conference starts tomorrow. When the weather improves that's a great view from the hotel room.
