Hi folks,

PSA about the per diem in Tokyo:

US Dept. of State rate for Meal and Incidental Expense rate in Tokyo is $227

The breakdown (source: https://www.gsa.gov/travel/plan-book/per-diem-rates/fy2018-mie-breakdown#1h):

Breakfast: 34

Lunch: 57

Dinner: 91

Incidentals: 45 (but remember we're supposed to keep this under 20 or submit receipts)

Syd (and others), which meals did you pay for the group? We had fewer lunches / dinners together this year IIRC.

I covered the okonomiyaki dinner on 2018/09/07 with council members: RV (+1), SS, JC, EBB.

Hope everyone had smooth travel back home!
