Hi I am sitting in our hotel room as at last we get free internet. It isnt fair for me to write evrything about today so will let John have his say in a minute. Sorry guys I hated it!! Personal opinion I know. You have to remember one of the reasons I dont like London are the crowds! Today we went by shuttle bus to Narita then got a train to Akihabara as John wanted to show me electric city. Yes the gadgets are amazing but all the shops are the same and to get there we had to strap hang on th...
tokyo, Japan chrisandjohnThe day started badly with Steven demanding sweets throughout the entire drive to the airport followed by a refusal to get into the buggy nicely! However, things improved. Virgin Atlantic were friendlier and slightly roomier than when we went to Florida 14 years ago. We also had the additional benefit of having 4 seats for the 3 of us. The children's meals are excellent. Stevie had a frube, dairylea dunkers, pasta in tomato sauce, a gingerbread man and a bag of grapes and apples, a fruit shoo...
Narita, Japan yvonne.stoweWe made the 5 hour journey back to Narita yesterday on the fabulous Shinkansen or bullet train, changing at Osaka and Tokyo. Travelling days are always a long haul with Steven getting quite bored and not displaying his best behaviour. Safely checked back into the Holiday Inn we all slept from 9.30pm until Steven got us up at quarter to 6. Before bed, D claimed the earth moved for him! He was sitting in the hotel lobby discussing cricket with an Indian gentleman, when the floor and windows sta...

... did no sets today and KC and I played Monopoly on his Nintendo DS – I have no idea what that is but we had a good time.<br><br>Yesterday was my day off and I spent it cooking. Mel and KC and I have a routine where we often will fix dinner for the other guys when they are working and we have a day off. (kinda like at home to my guys! (you know who you are!!) like to ...
Urayasu, Kanto, Japan mark820November 13, 2009<br><br><br><br>The past two days have been perfect Santa weather! Cloudy, cool with just a little breeze. Perfect! Yesterday was so fun. I spent the day seeing all sorts of people. It has always been fascinating to watch people and see what they do when they don't know they are being watched! Young couples who are just getting to know each other. Older couples who have love and laughed (or cried) together for many years. Families with kids, and maybe one on the ...
Urayasu, Kanto, Japan mark820... time I was quite confused! Now, it’s just part of the system. Then around noon they told us that we were going to be cancelled for the whole day. The other system we had to get accustomed to is that if we are being paid for the day, we stay there. So from noon until 5:00 p.m. we sat in the dressing ...

Then thinly sliced carrots, enoki mushrooms, and bokchoy cabbage are served ready to put in the pot. After that comes very thin sliced frozen meat, usually beef. You are to take the meat slices and swish it around in the boiling pot – shabu-shabu is Japanese for swishing. There are also two dipping sauces, Ponzu (made of soy and citrus) and Sesame ...
Maihama, Japan mark820November 5, 2009<br><br><br><br>Yesterday was the easiest "orientation day" that we have ever had – it's great having all three Santas returning. We breezed through all of our stuff and even got to skip over some stuff! Yeah!<br><br>We got to costume fittings and it was hot in the room. These folks sure like their rooms warm! So they put us in our costumes and this year we had a surprise – padding in the ...
Matsudo, Kanto, Japan mark820... different location (thankfully out of sight from the last). "Ohhh, free samples??" we say to the girl with a shot taking gesture she recognizes and a slight smirk to each other. Hmmm, lets try this one... <br><br>S...<br>
Narita, Kanto, Japan fatkidfrogs... Terminal 2, and got off the JR Rail train. Once off we quickly found signs directing us to the Keisei Line. This turned out to be a 500 meter walk through a tunnel, to what seemed like an abandoned station. We found a nice gentleman at the ticket/information booth who helped us determine we were in the right place and we purchased our tickets. 220 yen each. He also helped us take our luggage down some stairs, as the down escalator appeared to be under ...
