This email is coming to you live and direct from The Apple Store Tokyo. There isn't a single pic that would even come close to doing this city justice. I'll have to resort to shining a spotlight in your eyes and banging you repeatedly over the head while showing you the snaps to provide some sort of facsimile. Alison is a trooper for putting up with my insistence to march endlessly through the madness. Unfortunately we've moved to a different hotel for the last couple of tokyo days. Partly to...
Tokyo, Japan ericlussierWe made it! We got through the flight, customs and a semi-screaming child. Our airport limousince bus driver weaved his way through Tokyo and finally reached our hotel, Akasaka Excel Hotel Tokyu. It is quite a nice hotel in the heart of the business district (at least we think it's the business district). There is a 7 Eleven attached to the hotel, a Mickey D's across the street and tonnes of traffic, even at this time of the night/morning. Here are a few photos of the view from our room and o...
Tokyo, Japan jangieSensible people go from West to East when they travel round the world. That way you are gifted an extra day when you cross the International Dateline. Going in this direction, you lose a day, but I didn't really have a choice on this route - doing it in reverse would have meant South America in the Winter, and flying from Spring into Autumn was disconcerting enough. Still, I've gone from GMT-8 to GMT+9 and lost a full day in the process - that's disconcerting in itself. JAL (Japanese Airlines...

We got up yesterday morning around seven. It went surprisingly slowly (in contrast to today) and we were ready to leave by around 8:30. As per usual, we attended the Yahoo! Cafe here at the hotel to get a little somethin` somethin` from our mailboxes and then we were off! After eating. And sitting around talking about the world. So we really left around two.
Contrary to my previous idea of how long it would take to get to Akihabara ...
... temps 'dentaire' involontaire, j'ai du choisir une destination plus moderne et proche de dentistes/médecins éventuels...Au fin fond de l'Himalaya, c'est un peu plus compliqué... Ps : Ceux qui veulent que je leur raméne un kimono, sachez qu'un vrai coûte autour de 5000 euros. (payable d'avance...) Sayonara (un truc dans le genre) Ricardobanzai
Tokyo, Japan surledep... last minute and came to pick us up at the station: thank you very much Darlene! She took us for an evening out with her friend Scott and his girlfriend. It was a fun night althought Saoyuth underestimated the strengh of the sake. The next day we said goodbye to Darlene for the next 6 years ;-). The best things to see in Tokyo Back in Tokyo, we had some better spring weather (i.e. no more rain) and walked around town. Our best ...
Tokyo, Japan patandsaoyuthI got to Fukushima a few days ago taking the bullet train. It was a short ride form Tokyo station (About 1.5 hours) but we ended up at a suburb near Fukushima city. I had expected that we go to the city but we didn't. (I have to keep this brief because I am really sleepy) We stayed in a dormitory in the woods. I could not believe I had to cell phone reception. We were ...
Japan, Japan jlala... looking at the quality of the high definition TV's. One of the people at my hostel is making a travel documentary with a high definition video (2 year project), after seeing the quality...it's like looking through a window at the scene. Maybe a wander through the games arcade to see what the kids are playing, which strangely enough I include myself in that group too. Two kids are playing what I can only describe as karaoke ...
Tokyo, Japan ahardyWe always pass by this bar called homies Bar and we NEVER EVER see ANYBODY in there, its always deserted. So one time we decided to go in just for a laugh and we ended up playing Jenga (when you make it fall you have to take a shot of tequila) with the staff. It was so funny cuz we could barely understand each other but we had the time ...
