…and I’m awake. Not all that surprising given that it’s around 1:00pm in California…yesterday. Ah, the joys of flying to the other side of the planet and crossing the date line. The flight was okay given that I didn’t have to go cattle-class (thank you, Dolby), but the number of things that were broken on that United 747 was a bit disturbing. One bathroom out of commission, in-seat power broken, air map not working, video screen flickering, thermostat not telling the truth, the list goes on. I should probably just be glad we made it in one piece!

The quest for Qoo got started in the half day that I’ve been here. I still haven’t seen the addictive kiddie drink in any of the omnipresent vending machines, but that doesn’t stop grocery stores from rockin’ the 1.5 liter variety!

Too bad it’s slated to rain all day today since we have a spare day before hunkering down in the Dolby Tokyo office. I’ll figure out a way to make the best of it.
