Kawagoe Japan - Old and New

Took the train about an hour out and landed in Kawagoe.
It is filled with old clay style buildings that have survived earthquakes, wars and urban sprawl.  Very cool and they are all located in the same area so it makes for a great area to wander and hang.
Temples scattered here and there as well.
Buses and buses full of people enjoying the day and this bit of history.

Tokyo Japan - 70F in November is great

60 - 70 degrees F feels great in November.  People everywhere - as crowded as Hong Kong seems there are spots in Tokyo that make Hong Kong look open and spacious.

Hong Kong - Great to be back

Only gone a month so not long at all but as I ride up the escalators I realize how miss it all.  A great spot on the map - and great people I have gotten to know.
Funny how I met a friend from HK that has moved back to Australia and we were together on the escalator.  Then I stopped at the local spot and there is a guy I know from Sydney as well in for work meetings.
Always old home week in Hong Kong.

Saint Paul MN - busy week back in MSP

Jury Duty this week - busier time than any of the others I participated in.  This time did not get on a trial - but was in and out of a few.  Appreciate how many unique and interesting lives there are out there when you gather a group together and all talk about your life experiences.
Had a short wander in the MOA, Mall of America, and realized it has been a long time since I wandered here and so many new and interesting things to see.
Also got to hang out with the Mac gang.
And then back to Asia for a couple weeks.
