Hello everyone! I am up early because of the jetlag effect, so I came downstairs to share a few thoughts. And the first thought is...ｙｕｍｍｙ food and nice people have made this trip extremely pleasant so far. And that's good because it's not cheap! Sixty-five bucks a night for bunk beds was the best deal we could find. And if you know of a better one don't rub it in because we are at peace.
Yes of course the flight from New York was long. We slept, read, watched "Dear John", talked about our feelings, etc. But eventually we landed in Japan. By the way, thanks to Arthur and CarolynAnn for helping us transition from New York to the blue skies! From Narita Airport we took the train into Tokyo, which was clean and smooth riding. We asked a cop for directions to the hostel, got some local cash and checked in to our coffins. The shared rooms have beds inside your own private lockable...box. We went out for a nice dinner of skewers (fish, chicken, beef, and tripe we think) and udon noodles before walking home and crashing. Our sleeping schedules were off but we slept through the night to try and get back on track, even though we naturally woke up in the early morning hours.
Today was a day of shopping. First, breakfast of rice with shrimp and chicken tempura. Good, ｂｕｔ we were still looking for a home run mealwise. The servers were taken aback by tipping; well, okay, I can live with that! Now onto shopping. We figured out the subways and headed out for some of Dara's recomended craft shops, stopping at Electric Town first for a USB cable and a camera strap. Then on to craft shopping; see what cool stuff Dara can make with them in the future . Oh, time to eat! We eyed some good-looking food in the shopping center, so we picked a nice place with shopping center, so we picked a nice place with food in bento boxes. The mysterious vegetables always ｐｒｏｖｉｄｅ a surprise to the palate, and the FISH BALLS! Yum! Next up is sleep because museums and temples await!
