OMG my talk was STILL TOO SHORT. Sheesh. What else can I put in there?! I had lots of trouble understanding the questions too -- partly these folks are just smarter than me and partly there's a language/accent barrier.
But I met lots of people (including one of our collaborators who was really rather attractive) and encouraged them to come visit our lab. And then we went to dinner at a Japanese mushroom restaurant where everything was delicious, and drank camu-camu wine and a couple of sakes and mushroom-infused shochu, and the decor was State Fair Mushroom Collection all the way. In addition to the lovely cuisine, they brought a giant basket of uncooked mushrooms to the table for show and tell. (My camera was out of battery, but I should be getting some phone pics by email later.) Everyone is so nice.
The weather is vastly preferable today, cool and damp being much more my speed than hot and damp. The typhoon is causing flooding in Nagoya, where I need to go tomorrow, so that should be interesting. The shinkansen tracks are okay, though, and that's the leg closest to the floods. Disconcertingly, the AC in my room here sounds like a windstorm but isn't. I kept checking out the window last night only to see completely still trees.
