Three Padmores Head to Japan

[Alex]

@Giles, @Madame-Buttonfly and me are en route to Tokyo this morning for a week with the IHJP crew. We have a couple of days in Tokyo, then onto Osaka/Kyoto and then finish up in Okayama (Kojima base) for some meetings with Haraki and co.

@Madame-Buttonfly always likes to arrive 'reassuringly' early to the airport, but sadly didnt continge for our bout of March snow (this climate change thing is no joke, eh?) so, for now, I'm riding solo at T5

Safe travels! Cologne got its fair share of snow last night, too - back to UHF it is.

Looking forward to the photos of your trip.
Can we expect a little easter egg hunt regarding future products? Sure hope so...

No, that's not really the point of the trip this time. To be honest, we do not have a great deal actually 'planned' but this is more of the kind of relationship building with factories/mills etc that we are committed to over the next couple of years... IYKYK

But never say never, @tody

[Alex]

First hurdle - got the wrong boarding card... Hopefully @Giles can pretend to be be when he checks in and all will be rectified
