When we finally extracted ourselves from Macca's we headed to Ueno station to meet up with an old boss of mine and his wife. In 1988 I worked for Mr Shirae when he was posted to Sydney as a journalist for a Japanese Financial newspaper. (Nihon Keizai Shinbun.) That year he turned 40 & I turned 21. Now I'm 40 & his daughter is 21!! But seeing he & his wife again it felt like no time had passed at all.
We went to the Tokyo Bay area by train & the Yurikamome - a very scenic Monorail which the children enjoyed
.
Then we visited and had a meal at the Tokyo Fune-no kagaku-kan (Maritime Science Museum) which is housed in a huge ship-shaped building.
The monorail is driverless, and on the way back the children were able to sit right up the front and had a fabulous view.
