Day 1: Welcome to Japan
« on: February 22, 2007, 01:10:33 AM »
Welcome to Japan! After about 20 hours of travelling we arrived in Tokyo. The 11 hour flight didn't felt too long because together with Martti, Michiel from Soulcycle, Wolfgang, Michael Sommer and Georg Oberlechner it can't get really boring. After some drinks we took over one of the kitchens of the plane and Martti showed a preview of the upcoming KGB DVD. A DVD preview 10000 meter above the ground at 1000 km/s speed. Can you imagine a crazier location ?
Anyways, we arrived exactly in time, met the UK guys at the airport and hit the shuttle bus to the hotel. The hotel is quite cool and damn huge, the contest location is also part of it. I found 3 Red Bulls in the refrigerator of my room saying welcome to the jetlag!
From the 39th floor you have an awesome view over the city which we are going to explore later today. Stay tuned for day 2!

Now this reminds me of the good old days back at Trixboard when Paul Vail would come back with all kinds of video and photo coverage. Now those days ended about three years ago but its great to see someone gets to go out have some fun for us still!

This is so great! Hopefully its just the beginning of Martins and global-flats paid visits around the world. They bring so much back to us and I am happy to see it paying off. Good luck Martin and enjoy that contest man!
