Abe is here

It has been pretty uneventful so far, if you take out the hair-tearing hours of searching for houses and schools...

However, today we woke to see a red carpet greeting us out of the lift. Thinking that they have finally come to their senses and found out that I am some super hot megastar currently in hiding from the press and they have decided to make my heels easier to walk in... I strut out.

Then I see all these cute japanese guys wondering about. Hey! It's my lucky day.. :)

The cute japanese people were all bowing and handing out name cards. I wish I had a name card to hand out.

Then some guy with a big laminated name tag came and asked us to get off the red carpet. How rude! We got off as it didn't lead to the breakfast cafe anyway.

We found out that the Japanese Prime Minister was staying at our hotel. So being the annoying tourist that we are. We decided to take his photos. We took a lot of random shoots while waiting. I think we also saw his wives wife as there was a flutter of women also needing police escort to go shopping. I don't see why they can't take the complimentary hotel shuttle bus like the rest of us. Or walk.
It's cool being the PM huh? You get a whole cohort of men in black suits following you. Even the bellboy gets jumpy! The car stops and you see all these MPVs behind with their doors already open and the men in black jumping out like an action movie. We only recognised him as 'the one without the laminated nametag'.
The mafia is coming to town!
