Tokyo Arrival Part I

After a long 9.5 hour flight, and some massive turbulence, we finally reached Nagasaki. The flight on JAL was pretty high tech. We all had our very own tv's with a remote control. I could select from over ten movies and twenty games, plus music.

Japan islands

From Nagasaki to Tokyo it's about 30min. On the way, we saw Tokyo Tower.

And we're off......

Once we checked into the hotel, we could hardly wait to see what tokyo had to offer. We only had three days here, and for most of us, it would be an expensive trip back.

The Streets of Akihabara

Jon navigated us through the subways and train stations. We found Akihabara, after looking around Shinjuku for a while.

Maid Service

All around the streets we saw Japanese "fashion". It was pretty odd. But from what I hear, there are other places l where the people watching is more interesting. There were some guys in drag as well. At least I hope they were in drag, ‘cause if not, then they're just really ugly ladies. We had a hard time figuring it out for the most part. Luckily we left before it got dark and "the weirdos" came out.

Akihabara

Another shopping area. Some streets were closed just so people could walk. Somewhere along the way i bought a electronic dictionary for $92. Good deals.

So, we jumped on the train again, and we were off. i'm glad Jon knew where he was going. Because everything was in kanji.

We were all starving, so we found a little spot and i had my first meal in japan. They gave a lot of food for cheap. It always makes it taste better.

And the sushi was ono-licious
