My 2nd trip to Hombu dojo, it was a cold night on 19th Nov 2011 Wed, after i came back from my tour my tour guide show me the dircetion of walking to Hombu. So without a though i straight away started walking from my hotel to hombu. A lot of memory was there on the way to hombu. I seen like able to recall the previous hotel road i stay duringh my 2009 trip. So i manage to find back the previous hotel, so i try to take a new road cause seen to me is a shorter way to Hombu Dojo. Hahaha but in the end i was lost in the dark cold night, with many asking around and high spirit of wanna know the way well so i won't be late for tomorrow morning 6:30am class. I manage to find my way back to dojo. After the interesting 40 min of searching i reached this place where every Aikidoka dream of training here for at least once in their life time. So i took the photo and walk my way back to the Hotel. So confident that i wanna try about new road which i think should be a short cut, in the end i was lost again, this time 40 min lost during 10pm plus where all the shop are closed. I almost give up wanna u-turn back to Hombu and start all over again. Lucky i met a russian lady telling her i was searching for Hombu just now and lost on the way back to Hotel. Guess what she told me :) I'm from Hombu dojo also, just finish having drink with some of her friends on their 1st visit to Hombu. She had been staying and training there for 3 years. With her kind heart, she walk me back to my Hotel road :) Finally i'm back to my Hotel. Imagine lost in other city manage to find an Aikidoka from Hombu showing your way back to Hotel. Life is so interesting, that is what always make me feel so happy and good when I train Aikido, O-sensei spirit and teaching have change and help so many people around us that we don't know that we have change to a better person sometime :)
