it is that time of year again, when plum blossoms bloom and the first brave crocus raises its turgid shaft – yes, tax time – so i am here in tokyo japan to review our books before submitting to the taxman! but it's not as dire as it may read, i've made this more a vacation than a business trip as there are no trade shows or new products to launch.
only 3 days and already packed a lot in: dinner with nooka tokyo staff, visited my friends of hirocoledge at their one week pop-up shop in isetan [really amazing stuff, you should check it out as they are currently negotiating for US distribution. their site here], gave my boyfriend and my friend ilisa a private tour of the yoyogi national stadium [took a lot of energy to turn my charm on in japanese as they don't allow people to enter when events are booked!], dinners with friends and almost a full day at the yurakucho muji honten!
