Travels of a NOAA Research Pilot: Saturday In Fussa-shi Japan

Well, it's early. I think I was up at 230 am just wondering where I was. When I finally figured out I was halfway across the world, I decided to get up and see what was happening in the middle of the night. Of course everyone here was asleep except for a few of our crew. I think Jess was up at 3am so we are all mixed up..

Today is a "getting settled day". We got our Yokota licenses. We can drive on Base now-except the steering wheel is on the right side and you drive on the wrong side of the road. Angel, on the other hand has a truck with the steering wheel on the left side. He's so cool... We hope for the best for him.
We bought some supplies at the Base Commissary. I rented a bike for the month..It's super fast.
Most of the crew got off base for lunch out in Fussa. Then it was Santa Sushi for dinner. Yummy Yummy. I think Gabe has video of the Sushi Bar...

Getting settled and used to the time change is fun. Today was rather slow in terms of blogging but here are some photos and a couple of videos anyhow...
Tomorrow is another off day. We may head to Sawai to taste some Sake..

Enjoy!
