About meDurf Goes to New York
So I am flying to NYC on September 21. I should get there just in time to hear Prime Minister Koizumi make his address to the United Nations (Japan is angling for a permanent seat on the Security Council) and then the next day I get to translate the content of his press conference for immediate uploading to various Japanese government websites.
Then I get on the plane with the prime minister and all the rest of the Japanese team and fly back to Tokyo. (Kind of a cool perk; this is the equivalent of Air Force One for Japan, and the seats are all business-class and the food is mighty tasty, from what I’ve heard.)
If I’m lucky I’ll be on the ground in NYC for 24 hours . . . doesn’t sound like a schedule that leaves me with time to visit any friends, or go out for dinner, or breathe, really. Argh. At least I didn’t have to go along to Brazil and Mexico as well . . . the 12-day whirlwind tour thing sounds exhausting.
Next up on the schedule: Laos and Vietnam in October and Chile in November!

Probably just Hanoi . . . Vientiane in Laos and Santiago in Chile. I’m not sure whether I’ll go to all of these, or which ones the other guy will cover. I’m sure of very little, to be frank.
