First week in Japan May 3, 2006 we met with friends from our first visit. It was good to renew acquaintances. Every get-together in Japan has to be a 'food experience' (some things are universal) We went to a TGI Friday restaurant near Ueno station. This was a food experience for 3 of them....American/mexican food, and we enjoyed it because it was familiar.














Coming in for a landing at Narita airport on May 1st. It was warm and humid.

We flew from Ottawa to Vancouver where we met Cheryl Janzen ( from Killarney) waiting for the same flight to Narita. She is working for the same company as us and for the same time period. She is at Toyahashi, not far from Nagoya where her brother John and sister Dianna are living.
