For those staying at the Hilton, don't be alarmed at all the ladies waiting outside the entrance. It appears some Korean male celebrity is here and all his fans are waiting for his appearance.

Ha! I walked by them earlier wondering what the commotion was about and my Japanese is very rusty but I'm pretty sure they were laughing at me.

Tell them to calm down. I'll be here for the next 4 days!

We just landed. Can't wait for baseball and beer!

We will be meeting at the entrance of the JR main ticket office. This is where there's a dedicated rail pass counter (counter 1), and it's direct opposite the main tourist information counter.

Be there at 10.35am, or we're leaving you behind!

Ugh, they follow me everywhere. . Good thing they don't know I'm at the GH instead.

What time is everyone staying at the Hilton heading out to GH? Anyone want to meet in the lounge or in the lobby before heading out?

Had a pleasant flight on the way over on a delayed AA169 from LAX - who should I notice 2 seats across on the other other side of the same block of three seats but lili (who by now should have just arrived into FUK) - helped make the pleasant flight even pleasanter.

It was a circus at NRT immigration 5pm today ...

I am safely ensconced at the Narita Hilton; about to sleep in the first real bed I have had in the last 16K miles ... I'll see you all at dinner tomorrow evening (some even earlier perhaps at the Hilton lounge).
