Land of the Rising Sun

Was in Tokyo on a business trip with the bosses last week and since it was my first time to Japan, was really looking forward to seeing some sights.

However, the trip was packed with meetings, company visits, lunches and dinners, and by the time we finish, were too tired to go out.

It’s a good thing that I always bring my running gears with me wherever I go. It helps to exercise when you’re travelling, to fight off jet-lags, to burn some calories from all the lunches and dinners, and keeping fit, but most of all, to see and enjoy some sights.

Only managed to wake up early and dragged myself out of bed twice and went off for some sightseeing and adventure.

Here are some pictures taken from my morning runs:
