So, because of Adam's busy work schedule, he had to leave Japan a day earlier than I did. When he met me in Japan at the beginning of the week, he had just come from a two-week work trip in China. They usually fly him to South Korea before flying him home, so after he left Japan, he flew back to South Korea before catching his flight back to Seattle. I could have gone home the same day, but I decided to extend my trip an extra day mainly because it was cheaper to do so.
