More to the point I have my parents landing at Narita on Tuesday morning. First visit since I moved here back in 1995. Any words of wisdom, especially regarding possible eating venue/venues for next Tuesday and Wednesday night - NO not traditional Japanese. We're staying in central Tokyo at the Akasaka Excel Tokyu (hell I'm not paying!!!). If anyone could also suggest, say, two places to visit in Tokyo during a day's sightseeing I'd be really grateful - I AM the original crap person at being a tourist in my own country/place in which I live. And these places should be the sort that'll help my mother fill-up the tape on her video-camera - no she's NOT into hard-core S&M. -- jonathan
