The night before my showroom appointment I had spent three hours in a Tokyo hospital after connecting my right eye socket with a wooden stool whilst having dinner.
So given I was jet lagged, slightly hung-over and groggy from pain medication, as well as slightly poorer from the hospital bill and with 4 new stitches in my head, I think I did remarkably well.
