Arrived Tokyo on a breezing 7 Feb 17 morning. Nice and cool but the sun was out. Stayed @ the Southern Tower Hotel at Shinjuku with Takashimaya some stone-throw away. A perfect location to catch the Airport Limo Bus, Subway and walking distance from many yummy food place.
By the later afternoon, the weather changed quite drastically. The cool breeze was getting colder and the bright sunshine was being filtered by the clouds. Still manageable but the jacket was much needed.
Once the sun gets switched off, the chill sets in. Still breezy but not so "cool" anymore. Not only the jacket has to be out, the gloves were also much needed for cold hands is not helpful for the evening stroll.
A quick soupy meal in a nearby soba outlet was most welcomed. This was followed by a cup of hot coffee; not for drinking but for holding. Whilst the night was deemed to be still young, body was not so cooperative to remain vertical. Gotta prepare for the next day's presentation, so it was back to the warmth of the hotel room.
Jacket was still needed the next morning, though the sun was out and shinning. Certainly appreciated the tie to keep the heat within. Made my way to the overly crowded subway. Certainly no complaints as it does help to warm the environment.
Oh yes, must have the same spot selfie before breaking off to the official routine. All ready to go. Laptop in bag with thumb-drive in pocket as backup.
At the meeting location. The wind is much stronger here so all the more eager to get inside to start the day. This same location was where the ReCAAP Agreement was negotiated many years ago. Lots of fond memories of where the negotiation had led to.
