Day 143 2016: When one extra day of work just isn't enough...

Day 143: ...make it a double

So, as if work commitments yesterday weren't enough, then why not walk straight back out the door to another day of work-related activities. Because, you know, academic...occupational hazard really.

Today in town was the turn of a group of academics, journalists and activists who invest their time in supporting an online journal, Japan Focus. I expressed interest a few weeks ago, found myself on one of the afternoon panels as a discussant...occupational hazard really. 

Anyway, as things go, Tokyo has something along these lines going on almost every weekend. Far from complaining about it, it was one of the reasons I took up the new job--the opportunities for meeting and engaging with colleagues like this on a regular basis.

And, there was a bonus Chinese banquet at the end of the day...

It started very blue sky

Trains

And ended very orange sky


...well, it can't always be just about the work, can it. Can it?
