The view from the conference venue at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology.

Kowloon at 530am from the hotel. Meetings today and tomorrow. Maybe some free time on Wednesday.

[JeffTiger @Jefftiger96]

The first of three flights today. Around 24 hours to Hong Kong. It’s going to be a long day.

One of my all-time favorite films. I'm looking forward to seeing it again at the Japan Society next month.

At their estranged father’s funeral, three sisters meet a teen half-sister they never knew and invite her to move in, setting in motion Hirokazu Kore-eda’s radiant drama of sisterhood and family.

@sarsfansubs @JustinA53839500 I'm still recovering from jetlag almost a week after returning. And I leave tomorrow for Hong Kong. I'm crazy. But it is a free trip to a meeting. I couldn't turn it down.

@sarsfansubs @ArnoKempers Really? Damn, everyone in government is a racist. It’s horrible.

@stephen_leff I was using apples photo editor to cover my confirmation number.

[JeffTiger @Jefftiger96]

Well, that’s a first for me. My Tokyo flight was late to the gate and I have a tight connection to my home. United let me know that they will hold the flight a little bit. Let’s see if this works

[JeffTiger @Jefftiger96]

Made it to the gate 2 mins before boarding. So I had plenty of time to spare!

[JeffTiger @Jefftiger96]

@ArnoKempers Umm, I’m not sure I would go back to Makuhari Messe unless it was for a concert, like King Gnu, who have played there in the past.

[JeffTiger @Jefftiger96]

My 2nd attempt at reproducing this scene from Nanyobi ni umareta no, this time at night. The tall building behind Kahimmakuhari station is where I had dinner yesterday.

[JeffTiger @Jefftiger96]

@ArnoKempers Yes, you’re right!

[JeffTiger @Jefftiger96]

@luchuubit Thanks! My colleague’s wife’s family is from Kochi. He’s said that he and his wife would meet me there if I traveled in future.

[JeffTiger @Jefftiger96]

Yesterday was my last night in Tokyo. I went to an izakaya with my JMA colleague that specialized in Kochi area cuisine. The half baked bonito and cold sake were excellent!

[JeffTiger @Jefftiger96]

@edwardwong_ks I DLed it at Haneda airport. I plan to watch while waiting for my flight back to the US. Thanks!

[JeffTiger @Jefftiger96]

@eveychooey Thanks! I remain intrigued by this. I don't get Rio at all. I still have no idea where the relationship will lead.

[JeffTiger @Jefftiger96]

@hpriestsubs And there are still lots of tickets available for its brief run in London from 2-11 July, with English surtitles.

[JeffTiger @Jefftiger96]

Met with HPriest and went to an impressive portrait exhibit at the Azabudai Hills Gallery. You may recognize some of these people.

[JeffTiger @Jefftiger96]

@sarsfansubs An interesting assortment of pictures. I’m intrigued.
