Tokyo, Japan 1st day

Well, we made it to Tokyo, Japan! Our flight was uneventful but I think that's a good thing. We got in by 5pm, all tired and sleepy but we made it to 10pm and about ready to pass out. Our gracious hostess Nobu met us at the airport and helped us maneuver our way to the hotel. It took an hour's bus ride from Narita Airport to Tokyo. The city was dark by then but all we can see around us were buildings, buildings and more buildings. I thought LA or NY was a concrete jungle, Tokyo is worse. I al...

Tokyo

Feb 25 (Yvonne Writing) Our flight into Tokyo was awesome, ANA is defiantly a recommendable air carrier. Not only did we get personal TV's like on West Jet, you also had your own remote control which turned into a portable Nintendo gaming controller. I played Super Mario World 3 for a while to kill some time while Jamie played boxing. We were also able to view a wide selection of in-flight movies, tv and satellite radio. After the flight we had to learn the Tokyo rail system fast in order to ...

Welcome to Tokyo

Whats the difference between a singaporean burger king and an American burger king? When you ask for more ketchup in America, they give you a bucket. In Singapore, they give you a packet, one packet, and that too with a smirk. Singapore over the last 5 days has been, how can I say it without knocking the city...easy, comfortable, dare I say bland? Well, aside from the multitude of shopping malls, Singapore is rather, in our opinion, boring. Anyways, forget Singapore, we're in Tokyo now (thank...

Tokyo is incredible!!!

Words can't describe this city, you have to be here to experience it. We are loving our time in Tokyo. Yes, aside from the fact that this city needs a lesson or two in energy efficiency, and I would shudder to even think about its carbon footprint. This city has such a vibrant exterior, yet a calmness, serenity and gentleness still lays at the core of Japanese culture, where even the most crazily dressed young teenager bumping you in a crowded pathway, or waiter in a bustling restaurant will ...

Harajuku trend-setting and Ikebukuro garcons

... ask where I got my clothes the other day, but was I punk/Lolita enough? There was a more important problem at hand. My h.Anarchy skirt was a little too short for comfort, and the crowds got me paranoid. I wasn&#8217;t going to spend over $50 on a pair of bloomers so it was off to Bodyline to see if they had a decent pair. They did, for $30, so my next destination was a bathroom to change.<br><br>I got distracted, however, and ventured ...

Harajuku

... a variety of stores. Tools, electrical parts, wires, microsized cameras and similar items are found in the cramped passageways of Soto Kanda 1-ch&#333;me (near the station). Foreign tourists tend to visit the big name shops like Laox or other speciality shops near the station, though there is more variety and lower prices at locales a little further away. Akihabara gained some fame through being home to one of the first stores devoted to personal robots and robotics.

Japanese Food

... give to the waiter and all of a sudden you'll be lucky to get out of there with change from a 20. In Japan, you pay the price on the menu - incredible. We had a number of incredible food experiences, most of which we couldn't have hoped to have discovered by ourselves, but fortunately we had a tour guide in the shape of a friend of Nicola's who has been in Japan for about 8 months - Hello Mac. He was amazing while we were there and let us stay in his tiny apartment for most ...

My first experiences

Here is my first 'real' entry. Although it was an 11 1/2 hour flight, it went by fairly quickly. Of course I only slept 3 hours the night before so after some reading, eating, & drinking a beer, I was out for about 5 hours. It also helped to be in business class and sleeping in those reclining seats. The plan was to take a train to Tokyo and then a cab to my hotel. Once in Tokyo, I realized I was missing something very important - Yen. I walked around ...

It's hanami time!

... reporter, Sato-san, had laid down our tarpaulin two or so days in advance, marking our territory with our company name and even a telephone number (in case the hanami police wanted to check on us?). He lives in the area and has been enjoying hanami in the same spot for years. As I rocked up at 2pm the party was already in full swing, and it was just as well we had reserved. Flanking Sakura-dori (sakura road) which cuts through the cemetary, Japanese young and old were already out ...

We are Japanese if you please....

... tea, on floor cushins and mini table * Tatami mats for sleeping area- futon type matress laid out on floor * white screens of paper act as sliding doors * shower time in another area, and then into a big hot bath for relaxation time * early breakfast in room served.... dried fish with sticky rice and green tea (not good that early!) Japan really is different, the customs the way of life. I think i am going to like it here...........
