Tokyo, Japan, 30 Nov. - 04 Dec. 2006

The November 2006 W3C Advisory Committee Meeting took place in late November and beginning of December, in Tokyo, Japan (in O-Daiba, near the waterfront and not far from very exciting areas of Tokyo, such as Hakihabara, Shibuya and Harajuku). What a wonderful time, around wonderful people. See also the flickr set (32 photos).

Somebody who can read Chinese said these three words mean "fire mountain", or literal translation "fire, head, mountain." It's a place in an old folk story with monk and his protectors.
