So far so good. Tokyo is beautful and the food is excellent. For lunch yesterday I felt brave and had some great sushi and some supposedly great sashimi. Wow. I admit to not loving the raw fish especially since the fishy flavor was so strong. The sushi tasted great however.
Our CEO is in town and we had a meeting with him this afternoon. He layed out the vision for the Japan team and it went really well. It is interesting to see how this team really is a miniature Omniture business. This team is basically in the same spot that Omniture was in about 4 -5 years ago. Focused on sales sales and sales. The meeting went really well and as I listened to Josh I felt excited to be there.
We will meet with our client today for the first time so I'm in my suit and tie. A big thanks to John Burke for the great advice on Japanese business etiquette. It basically happens here exactly like John said it would. Business cards are passed out like confetti. They are given and received with two hands and then you take a moment to study the card. Once you are done, you put the card in place of honor like your bag or front shirt pocket. Everyone is incredible and the Japan team does so well. We are all in one room together with a beautiful view of Tokyo from the 22nd floor.
I have taken a couple of pictures which I will post. Much love.
PS- on Thursday the Japan team has a mandatory meeting with the CEO in the evening for a Karaoke night. Singing is also mandatory... gulp. It will be a riot.

Can you film that one for me babe?
Congrats Don! It sounds like such an exciting work opportunity for you. WOW!!
Don,
I can't think of any place I would rather be on Thursday night than at this meeting. I am afraid I would need a pair of Depends to make it through the evening. I laugh pretty hard just thinking about it...I am with Amy....film it for us! I will be satisfied with a great description.
