Jeremy > On the bus. Notice that the driver is on the right side. He's in the right lane only because he's passing the black car. Luckily I will not be driving during this trip.

Jeremy > This will be my home for 2 weeks. This room is on the 13th floor (Japan is not so superstitious) of the Hamamatsu Meitetsu Hotel. I took these shots, put my bags down, and crawled into bed. Getting a full night's rest after being awake for so long is the fastest way to get used to the new time zone.

Jeremy > Day 2 begins like all days will begin: Breakfast at the hotel (it's included in our room charge). The breakfast restaurant is their attempt at re-creating a French cafe (it's called "Belle Facade"). It's a buffet offering western and Japanese offerings. On my plate is pancake quarters, fries, corn, really undercooked bacon, boiled ham, and a piece of salmon. I'm also having fruit cocktail, rice, and miso soup. They also serve eggs but they are grossly undercooked (I usually order scrambed hard). Still, a hearty breakfast is a great jetlag cure.

Jeremy > Before heading out to play, Oliver and I got our notes in order making sure that we know what we're going to do on our first day of work tomorrow.

Jeremy > The view from my hotel room. Oliver's view will be slightly to the left of this.

Jeremy > Hamamatsu station is where several train and bus lines converge. This is the fountain near the main entrance. In the background is the Entetsu department store.

Jeremy > Near to Hamamatsu station is Shin-Hamamatsu station where folks head north towards the Mountains. Most commuter traffic runs east-west.

Jeremy > The commuters dress for work; these folks are dressed for play.
