I stayed at "The B Ochanomizu" in... Ochanomizu when I went to Rubi Kaigi. The price was ¥35000 for two people over two nights but they extended the stay for a week at the same rate. The hotel was unremarkable but since I was out and about most of the time it didn't matter :-) On Fri, Jul 1, 201

This is a public service announcement. By an amazing stroke of luck there is a cafe that sells "real Melbourne coffee" at the closest metro station to the conference. This is good because although the food is amazing in Japan, the coffee is very ordinary. http://www.dfv.jp/pelleng.html On Sat, Jun
