	“How long will you be in the country?”
	“[color=ff0000]Three weeks,[/color]” Julius replied, offering the customs agent his trademark smile as he did so.
	“And the purpose of your stay?” the agent continued on, giving no reaction to the smile.
	“[color=ff0000]I was invited to give a series of lectures over in Academy City’s District 12,[/color]”
	“I see. Well everything here seems to be in order. Enjoy your stay in Japan Mr. O’Sullivan,” After giving Julius’ papers one last glance through, the agent slid them back across the desk.
	Julius thanked the agent, before quickly gathering up his documents and proceeding past the customs checkpoint. From there, it was only a simple matter of following the posted directions before he stepped out of the terminal and into the sun outside. He took a moment to appreciate the warmth of the sun shining down on him before he made his way over to a bench outside the airport. Sitting down on the bench, he took a moment to search through his bag, making absolutely sure all of his possessions were still there. Once he was satisfied that everything was in its place, he pulled out a map of Japan and carefully unfolded it.
	The map was extensively notated, with important locations, optimal travel routes, and even a few tourist spots marked in bold red ink. He’d asked his assistant back at the Vatican to do the notation for him, as she’d been to Japan previously on holiday, and she also had an almost obsessive fascination with Japanese culture, much to Julius’ disapproval. 
	 He was surprised to learn as he looked the map over, that the nearest subway station was actually a part of the airport passenger terminal itself, rendering his journey outside pointless. After studying the map for a number of minutes, making sure he was satisfied that he’d committed the route to Academy City to memory, he stood up and folded the map back into his bag. He headed back into the airport, and after following yet another series of posted signs, he finally made it to the subway station.
	It took him longer than he would have liked to determine which platform corresponded to the line he needed to take, but he did eventually manage to figure it out and before long he was comfortably seated in the train car as it made its way to Academy City.
