Misha recently stopped in Japan to visit me while reporting for duty at Embassy Hanoi.  It was great seeing her after two months apart.  We had a little down time in Tokyo as she tried getting over the jet lag, though it takes about a week to truly adjust (or three weeks according to Misha).  On a day when the heat and humidity made the air as thick as pudding, we hopped aboard our first bullet train (shinkansen) to visit Kyoto and Osaka.
