Saying going bye to my 20's in the states!

Well it was short notice but I'll be heading to the U.S. on business at the end of this week. I will first go to Boston for a week and then spend 2 weeks in the Washington D.C. area. In addition to being in the states, early next week I will also be replacing the 2 in front of my age for the first time in 10 years with a 3. No longer will I have the body of a middle aged man.. I'll have the age to prove it. Unfortunately, I'll be all alone in Boston, which I never visited before. I am fairly certain it will be a birthday night to forget. Anyways, I haven't flown in about 2 years and lucky for me, based on various travel websites, I get to sit in one of the worst ranked seats on the plane for 14 hours. Yay! I will also look forward to experiencing the highly talked about security measures at the airports. It just doesn't get any better than that I tell you.

Final weeks of 2009...

It is a new year and I hope this year will be much better than the last. Lots has happen during the final weeks of 2009. Here is a visual condense summary:

Friends hosted the first ever wing night at their place since there isn't anywhere in Tokyo that serves decent wings, unless you know of a place then please share :).



Like its neon lights, Tokyo loves flashy holiday decorations.










Last time I saw 2009 on Tokyo Tower.




Made sure to eat my soba before 2010 arrived.




Meiji-jingu is and has always been crowded during New Years day.





Apparently everyone who went to Meiji-jingu also went to Chinatown to eat.




Had a few days off, so I enjoyed the weather and some site seeing.
