Canadian Education Fair Begins Tomorrow - Well here we are safe and sound in our hotel, which is just two blocks away from the Canadian Embassy in Tokyo.  Our first adventure of the day was to take the train from Chiba into Tokyo proper.  All train schedules, maps and directions are in Japanese (oh duh, I guess that's why they call it Japan).  Once we sorted out the map, purchased our tickets from a machine that wasn't able to speak any English! (at least we thought it didn't; much later in our trip we found a small button to press for English!), and found the right spot on the platform, we were on our way.  Many thanks to Sayaka for giving us great texted instructions, to the sweet Japanese lady at the ticket machine who tried to help us, and to our Heavenly Father who does all things well and never leaves us or forsakes us!

Sayaka, thanks for taking the time to spend the afternoon with us.  You are a gift from God.

                                       

Tomorrow morning we are off to the Embassy....
