Day 3 in Japan - Tokyo Orientation 2nd Day

Lots of talks today – got some good examples of team teaching and met the important people from my Prefecture. Who I have promptly forgotten. At lunchtime I went and bought myself a new power cable for my lunch break. IN JAPANESE! I asked in Yodobashi where I had to go, got redirected a few times, actually remembered the counter for floors, and then asked about Apple power cables and found out the they don’t exist here. ALL BY MYSELF! After the talks today, we had an Embassy meeting – got to go to the Australian Embassy in Minato-ku. Pretty good food to make up for the dry talks about Australia-Japan trade relations. Caught the subway there - bought my first subway tickets. I feel so cool. Last time all of us Aussies will be together – I got a few email addresses of the people I have clicked with, and I hope to Facebook catch up with a few more. Excited and nervous about tomorrow – looking forward to meeting my workmates and seeing my new town and apartment.
