So today i woke up at 4 AM had to carry Jennas bag to the subway....oh about a mile away because her wheels broke on her bag so i told her id carry it to be nice.  We got on the subway to catch the Narita Express train to the airport.  It lasted about 2 hours and we arrived at Narita and had about 2 hours till our flight home to dallas, and we just hung out and slept a little.  We flew from Tokyo to DFW, then from DFW to Charlotte and just like that we were home and it was over....it really flew by it was defiantly one of the best times of my life im so happy i went on this trip.  I met a lot of great people and will always remember Taiwan and Tokyo

So today i woke up at 1 in the afternoon and it was optional to go to this condo in downtown Tokyo to listen to Navin Gupta from HSBC.  He talked about the financial crisis and what his advice was for us.  His condo is amazing and the view was incredible.  The talk lasted a while and after we went to eat some dinner.  We ate at this restaurant where we cooked our own food right in front of us it was pretty cool.  After dinner we went back and just packed all day because we had to wake up at 4 to catch the train to Narita Airport.  Good day!

So today was saturday and it was our free day.  A group of us went to the Tokyo Dome.  It is an amusement park in the middle of Tokyo.  This roller coster we went on was on top of buildings and actually went threw the building.  It was amazing to see and to ride.  We were at the amusement park till about 4 and then we ate at Bubba Gump Shrimp Company.  It was amazing, i got cajun shrimp.  After that we went to this club called Womb.  Its capacity was 4,000 people and it was 4 stories.  It was nuts.  Jenna and I left around 130 and a bunch of people stayed till 4 AM.  We got dropped off at the 7eleven by our hotel and got something to eat and a little bit more to drink.  Today was real fun.

Today we had 2 company visit and it was a very informing day.  We woke up early and had to be at Harley Davidson Japan and that meeting lasted about and hour and a half and we left for the subway and had to be at Sony by 2.  We found a Dean and Deluca before we went into Sony so we had time to eat some lunch.  Sony was amazing.  We saw and touched the Spider-man suit, Da Vinci  Code props, and Hancock's shoes, shirt, necklace, and hat.  It was amazing.  The coolest thing of this trip was by far seeing the exact camera George Lucus used to film Star wars episodes 2 and 3.  I couldn't believe what i was seeing, it was awesome.

Today was a pretty slack day.  We had to meet at the college at 210 and before that we all had free time.  SO about 6 of us went shopping in Shinguku and on our way to meet the rest of the group we got lost on the subway.  So we pretty much had a free day.  We went to this Irish Pub to kill time before meeting the other for diner.  So it was defiantly happy hour so we were there from 4-7 and it might have been one of my favorite times of the whole trip.  I loved this day
