A group from DT Naha arrived at Dojo to occupy a table next to the entrance.

We reached this island paradise from brown air PEK today. Family completely garbled up by jetlag. The afternoon by the beach did wonders, but minimal the sleep the past two nights needs to be recharged. Anyway, looking forward to see you all tomorrow night!

Tomari fish market - Friday morning

DT folks, the suggestion as of last night was to meet at 8am for a trip to Tomari fish market, where those interested can have fishy breakfast or early lunch.

Three of us tried to book a table for breakfast at 8am but were told 8am and 7:30am slots were already full! So we booked for 7am!

We can either take the monorail to Miebashi (2 stops) and walk from there or walk all the way (2.9km). The latter only takes about 5 mins longer.

Let’s see how it goes.

Uh, just saw this. Wasn’t sure if I dreamed it about the fish market and didn’t see anything about it last night, so wasn’t waking up early enough... guess we’ll do it on Mon morning instead!

I'd be up for joining Monday ... but not if 7am! *And I don't know if we met in HKG 2014 or not, but I presume so?

See everyone sometime today! Not sure how coherent I'll be by dinner though!!

Hmm probably 0730 maybe? And I think I have some hazy memories of sitting beside you on the bus or tram sometime during HKG DO...

Sorry for the late heads up but I'll be guiding from the DoubleTree to the fish market and beyond starting at 0900.
