Sayonara

After a great week in Japan (capped by an evening of karaoke--don't ask), tomorrow we return to Basel. Our current plan is to get up at 4:30am to go to the famous Tsukiji Fish Market (although I'm not sure we'll indulge in sushi or sashimi at that hour), then come back to the hotel and quickly pack, take the train to the airport, fly to Frankfurt (trying to stay awake as much as possible to mitigate jet lag upon return), have a 5-hour layover in Frankfurt, and finally get home at around 11:00pm. Small price to pay, though, for a great trip, so definitely no complaints. (At least not until Friday morning...)
