Global weather conditions 2

12 hours after leaving the sunshine at Narita, flying over snow covered Winsor Castle UK

Global weather conditions

I'm sitting at Narita airport looking at the blue sky and feeling the warmth of the sun, while reading the BBC web site information about the heavy snow conditions in London. The inbound Virgin flight is 2 hours late due to weather problems at Heathrow. It is hard to imagine such a contrast in weather conditions, i'm bracing myself for the winter chill of London!

The last (Sushi) supper ...

I'm heading back to UK tomorrow, so took the chance to eat Sushi for the last time on this trip ..... it tasted so good!

Alternative washing line

Drying in the fresh crisp air and mid-day sun.

Hakone

Just a 90 minute journey from Tokyo, and you feel like you entered another world ....

Japanese countryside

Japanese countryside

Tradition, history and beauty .....

Amusing translation

Best to make sure something is confident before you touch it.

Need to learn to cook ?

Then just pop along to your local ABC Cooking Studio ...... (I prefer the 'eating' bit)

Shiodome bar on 42nd floor

A stunning view of Tokyo city skyline while you sip your cocktails ....... (if you drink too much then your champagne glass suddenly appears larger than Tokyo Tower!)

Amusing menu item

I think I'll avoid the 'Squits wrapped in UME-PERILLA' . Sounds like it could give you .....(digestion problems!)

Tokyo taxi bikes

One certain way to beat the traffic jams ...... the egg bike ! (I tried to avoid the obvious puns like 'whisk me over to the other side of Tokyo' and 'what happens if we get into a crash, do we get scrambled?' etc etc ....)

Dinner celebration party

Always important to celebrate success ..... (and a good excuse for an 'after 5' dinner party!)

Signing a new deal in Japan

We have just signed a new major deal in Japan, more details will follow soon on the ELJ web site, but on Friday we had the pleasure and fun of a photo session for the Press Release. (Best suit and polished shoes!)
