Blake's arriving

Tokyo, 2009.11.02

Tomorrow morning I'll be meeting with an old colleague who's coming to town. To do a bit of a tour.

Nothing special, just a jaunt to Shinjuku to go up the metro tower and see the sites. I'll make sure he gets some guide materials there as well. I don't mind showing people around the city, it's a great way to see places you'd typically not visit in any given year.

Blake's now a journalist, but I knew him when we were both IT monkeys. It's a curious thing, but this is the second time I've met with a colleague from the same small start-up in Australia where I worked for six months some nine years ago and more. He's followed the news in Brussels, Rome and Sudan. You can read his work in the "Recommended Content" link below.
