Met B and R, headed to Hakone

12:10 Monday 03 July 2017 JST

Met R and B (Rhythm and Blues?) B and R (Banana Republic?) in Shinjuku today. I hope I helped them get to Hakone easily and quickly enough. We rode the fastest train that would stop at my station on its way to Odawara.

They have been studying in Taiwan, and came to Japan to check things out. They’ve been to pretty much all the good spots on the metro map of Tokyo.

B said an interesting thing that countries have had the right for millenia to have standing armies to protect them. Could be true, but I wonder if it is necessary, and who benefits from having an army.

I invited them to read about WTC7 since they had not heard three towers fell in NYC that day.
