How To Handle A Jetlagged Guest

Our last guest from Finland arrived today. I know I thought our previous guest was the last one, but someone needed to come to Tokyo before we leave. I think it's fun and keeps me from freaking out before the big move. And - our guest is special. She is a female and the kid likes her. That rarely happens.

Everytime a jetlagged person comes to our humble home, we try to keep the person up until Vimme goes to bed around eight. The jatlagged will be so tired at that point that s/he will sleep until the next morning and won't be too tired when the kid wakes up at 6:30.

Keeping awake strategies are: taking a tour through Venus Fort (shock effect) and other malls, hanging on the Odaiba beach and having a dinner (read: buying a sushi box and a sixpack). Seems to work well.

It's a pity! :-(
You better get yourself to Finland instead. ASAP.
