Haneda Airport, Tokyo, Japan
Cloudy and cool
On my way to Melbourne to attend the Melbourne Cup, one of the most famous horse races in the world. The flight to Hong Kong has been delayed an hour (which means it will cut my duty free jewelry shopping time in HK Airport by an hour!) so I was going to blog about the my first baseball game I attended in Japan. But... forgot the iphone cord to hook up to my Mac so can't upload the photos. So decided to blog about my first horse race (Keiba) in Japan!
I went in late spring around May with my co-workers as JRA - Japan Horse Racing Association is one of my clients. Main reason was to learn about the business. It was a glorious day, perfect for horse racing and the day before the Japan Derby - which is THE horse racing event in Japan. However, unlike the Melbourne Cup, Kentucky Derby, etc no one dresses up.
I enjoyed the day very much. The horses were beautiful and it was lovely to spend time with my team. I didn't bet much but my team used an online betting site and actually did pretty well! Looking forward to the experience in Melbourne but wouldn't mind going to another horse race in Japan.. not for betting but to enjoy the beautiful horses.
