My closet, erghhh-Hotel Room. Graham had one just like it-lucky him!
An amazing 7 TV channels on this huge 13" tv!
Yes-my feet hung over the edge of the bed
The Hi-Fi/Alarm clock system!
hmmm...Once size definitely does NOT fill all. Yes these are my size 14 boats.

What scenery!
Biggest Ferris wheel in the world? Not sure, but its HUGE
Not many skyscrapers where we visited
The Bridge. The Train runs underneath the road-you can see it there
Big Site?

Yup-we've arrived! Saw only 4 types of vehicles on the roads in Japan: 1) Taxis, 2) Bicycles, 3) Teeny Compacts, and 4) Skylines :)
ahh-the Toy Fair!
Remember-there is more to life than robots!

We ran on over to the Yamato booth first-as I hadn't see the 1/48 in person yet. Old news for Graham but he was a good sport about it
