So, as I casually strolled out of the main train station in beautiful downtown Kyoto, Japan this week, there it was in front of me: the giant Avanti building with big signs plastered all over it. Who knew that the entire operation had been secretly moved to this ancient Japanese capital? Is this the location of the new Avanti assembly line? Are all those look-alike cabs in front of the train station really the new Avanti models - or just the Toyota Comfort model favored by Japanese cabbies wearing suits, ties, uniform caps, and white gloves? You'll have to come and see for yourself!
While I contemplated this mystery, I and my business companions enjoyed a grand dinner of fried tofu, tempura, and a special plate of sushi.
Friday morning, I get a 90 minute train ride back to the Osaka airport, a 10 hour flight to San Francisco, a couple hour of layover, then 6 more hours of flying back to Boston, and an hour drive home. Sleep? What's that?
