Summary
And hello from Osaka! Finally booked the flight last night… completely forgetting about the idea of taking the boat! Darn! Lemon Cass, not bad. Had a few of those and some soju with the other hostelites. And I’m reminded why I don’t drink with people nor hang around 20 yr olds! Flight was uneventful, but getting to Osaka Station was a bit of work. I didn’t realize you could just take the airport limousine bus from T2. Also, customs searched EVERYTHING! And how’s the hostel? Not really as advertised, but it’ll do for now. And a special interview with Art from ArtiMax Freight Solutions! A fascinating look into the world of logistics! Oh, and Trump visits China with Jensen Huang, Tim Cook and Elon Musk, market pop?? Donate to the show!
