"KEEP
IN TOUCH OR ELSE !"
Tokyo is a great place and Japan a wonderful country, but it is
not home.

if writing, you should know postage for a a regular letter is $1.00
and mail takes about eight days to reach me from the US of A. You should
put the following on the envelope:
(home)

Minatu-Ku, Tokyo 106-0031
Japan
(office)
Mr. Michael Balaban

if calling, I'm 13 hours ahead of most people
(always have been), which is another way of saying, try not to phone when
it's between noon and 5 pm in New York, dial:
home 011-813-5466-4528
office 011-813-5574-4524
-
if faxing, you can use (remember faxes are open documents and I
don't always leave my fax on):
home fax 011-813-5466-0820
-
if emailing, please note emails are the same
as postcards, just not as pretty:
personal:
Bammer47@aol.com
-
if visiting, try and let me know before you get here, but
tell the cab driver you want to go to:
Nishiazabu 415 Bankan Apt 302
15-4, Nishiazabu, 4-chome, Minato-ku
(I'm assuming you're in Tokyo when you get the cab and you'll
wait in the lobby)
-
if shouting, it's probably best to face due North River and yell,
very loudly.
