Ingo arrived yesterday. He will stay as an exchange student at Tokyo University for a year. He brought me a loaf of real bread and proved that even though you can take an expensive train in order to get to Narita faster, they will find other ways to waste your time, such as making passengers take about 90 minutes from landing to baggage claim. I wonder if he will be more successful than me at leaving Tokyo again after the year is up ... (Considering that he lives in Berlin, which is significantly closer to Tokyo than Darmstadt, he should be)
