Hachiko

My first trip to Tokyo and I get to see the memorial statue of Hachiko. It was quite by chance as I was transiting through the station on my way to a conference. It's one of my favourite stories, well worth a Google if you're not familiar with it.

After checking into the smallest hotel room in the world I'm heading out to do battle with the Tokyo subway system to find the location of my first meeting. This should be interesting!

If having a soul means being able to feel love and loyalty and gratitude, then animals are better off than a lot of humans.
