Tokyo, lost in Translation: 2007

A business trip to Japan gave me a unique opportunity to discover Tokyo: a truly amazing city, packed with unexpected contrasts.

5 days Asia, 5 days Japan, 5 days Tokyo: a mind blowing experience!


A few days after my trip I saw the movie Lost in Translation. Just back from Tokyo the experiences of the main characters were a déjà vu to me. I have experienced this amazing city the same way. I am still not sure if you should see the movie before or after you visit Tokyo, in both cases Lost in Translation is a must see!
