This year, Mike had the fortune of presenting a paper in Fukuoka, Japan for The Fifth International Symposium on Energetic Materials and Their Applications. We thought it was the perfect opportunity to take Jacob with us and make a vacation of it. Mike made additional plans to visit a national laboratory in Tsukuba (near Tokyo), so that we could extend the trip. Our trip started on November 3rd and lasts through the 17th.
