It had been a long, long week for Kyle.  This business trip to Japan had really drained him.  Early mornings, confusing chaos at night, a language barrier the size of the Great Wall of China (a comparison he wisely kept to himself)....  It seemed like everything was against him.  And now here he was in his hotel room, his alarm ringing, and he had to drag himself out of bed for a 4 AM meeting.  "At least I get to go home tomorrow...."<br/><br/>He took a cold shower to try to help himself wake up, before shaving and getting dressed in his last suit.  It was a chore getting a driver who spoke English, but eventually he was on his way to yet another predawn meeting....
