Back on earth. Not easy. Shuttle, boat, local train (where some school kids were going in the restrooms to sniff illegal substances).
Train. Early for a meeting at 1 pm in Tokyo. A meeting who never came. I was kind of pissed.

Quiet day in Tokyo, which ended with a meeting with Koichi Watari, curator at the Watari Museum of Contemporary Art. Interesting. They had a very precise and progressive program. Architecture, Asian Art, International Art.

Dinner.

Bed early, because the plan was to wake up around 5 am to visit the fish market.
