This was my third visit to Japan. Incidentally enough, the first two visits were probably because I was working in a Japanese company called Yokogawa. I went to Tokyo, Yokohama and Chiba (for the Disneyland). This time around the Japan External Trade Organisation (JETRO) was kind enough to invite me to attend the Aerospace Conference in Nagoya, all expenses paid.
