I've been in Tokyo for the last few days, and vouched to keep up my Singapore sleep pattern.
I was on an evening flight out of Singapore on Monday, to allow for a decent sleep after partying on Sunday night. Jenson was on my flight and our fellow passengers went mad when they saw him, taking his photo over-and-over as he waited in the departure lounge. Then Kimi showed up in a golf cart, amused by all the attention - I swear when he showed up a woman's head exploded. People were just going "Aaarrrrgggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh! So crazy, it was primal!
In Tokyo I met up with Will Buxton from GP Week, who I'm rooming with, and we had a delicious lunch at Gonpachi, which is the restaurant that inspired the set designers on Kill Bill. I also had an apple sake drink that tasted like bitter Lilt. Yum.
(Gonpachi - which inspired the set for Kill Bill's big fight scene)
I then went to bed as I only got a few hours kip on JAL (selection of films not brilliant. Saw State of Play for the second time and Terminator for the 100th).
In the evening we went to a Toyota Q&A at an F1 themed café. Timo Glock was there, looking a bit bemused.
Then we went to The Cavern Club. This is a favourite of the F1 community - a place inspired by the original in Liverpool where The Beatles made their mark. Every night there's a Beatles tribute band on, and these guys were brilliant musicians and their Paul and George sounded perfect.
Ringo was a decent drummer, but less can be said of his vocals on "Wello Submaween"!
Buxton, who is a massive Beatles fan, got up to sing Hey Jude with them.
After that we met up with a bunch of friends - including DJ DNF himself, Sakon Yamamoto - at a Roppongi karaoke den. Will ended the evening projectile vomiting off an eighth storey fire escape, and we headed back to our hotel (ANA Intercontinental - very comfortable) at 06:30 with him bouncing off the walls, complaining of the evils of mixing sake with 15 beers.
The next day was a right off. Will wasn't going anywhere and though I did make the effort to 'do lunch' I quickly returned to bed, largely because it was so bloody comfortable. They have rice pillows at our hotel. I do wonder what would happen if you wet the bed. Would your pillow cases explode?
We ended up waking up at 7pm (having had housekeeping come in about three times), and despite Will complaining he'd given up drink I dragged him to a little area I absolutely love called Golden Street, near Shinjuku, where there are all these little bars. There's usually only space for a few people to sit, and they guy running the bar is often a student who sleeps there and have found his dream job pouring whiskey and playing his records.

After a bit more karaoke, we headed back to the hotel - this time at 05:30.
At noon we were on a bullet train to Suzuka...
Got to the track at 3pm and reporters were swamping Alonso. Did a bit of work before heading to our Yokkaichi hotel, about an hour away from Suzuka. A lot of press are staying here. It's a bit of a comedown from the ANA Intercontinental. It smells of stale cigarettes and overlooks a petrol station forecourt.
We just had dinner at a place across the road. It was good - one of those places where you sit on the floor and cook your own meal. There was only one dish - chicken - and though the staff spoke no english they were able to communicate what part of the chicken we were eating by pointing to their leg, chest or neck.
Am dead on my feet now. Need to get some rest before the bus takes us to the circuit at 07:15.

I suspect cufflinks are the next big thing in mens fashion. There's actually no other accessory a man can wear which can bring such a lot to his appearance without taking away from his class and style. Jewellery, wild clothing styles, and other flashy trends are good, but not one of them have the class that cufflinks provide. Most men do not notice how much it can enhance their appearance.
I have been searching for a good supplement to help me get to sleep too. Melatonin has bad side effects. I read about Calms Forte 4 Kids. That link goes to a review. You think its as good as they say?
Wonderful to read!

Dolce shoes are endorsed and worn by many celebrities, and this may place them out of the average price range for many buyers. Dolce shoes are dynamic, bright and chunky, and designed to appeal to young buyers.
This type is especially great for fitted skirt. Writing a skirt to look ragged points cut in the hem. Begins the side seams and cut up, then down, then up again, then down the whole way around. It's tattered look is fabulous on the full skirt... Just my 2 cents : )

Given Steve Job's statement of the iPad being positioned between the iPhone and the MacBook in Apple's product line up, we should also compare the iPad's price to the $999 cost of an entry level MacBook.
