If you are a film buff or an 80s music buff, you probably figured out our final location was Tokyo... I guess I was in more of pop culture mood (rather than a history/politics mood) when I wrote the last set of clues.
We made a point to watch the Oscar-winning "Lost in Translation" again recently in anticipation of our visit to Tokyo. Sausalito was the cliche-jazz band that performed in Park Hyatt's New York Bar in the movie (and you may recall that Bill Murray's character ends up hooking up with the lead singer).
Thanks to a promotion from signing up for a Hyatt credit card, we are actually staying at the Park Hyatt. I am pretty sure we are about the only people to check in to this hotel ever with backpacks for luggage and arriving on foot after walking 10 minutes from the train station.
I also can't help but think of karaoke and two of the best karaoke songs of all time when I think of Tokyo... The Vapor's "Turning Japanese" and the Styx "Mr. Roboto" (from the "Kilroy Was Here" album). Hopefully we'll get a chance to do karaoke when we are in Japan... but unfortunately, I don't have the masterful skills necessary to pull off either of those songs.
